Church Isn’t A Spectator Sport: The Missing Key To Spiritual Growth

Описание: In a moment when many across the UK are newly open to God, the biggest question isn’t “Is there more?” but “What am I made for?”

In this message from our January series Seek First, Jonny Pettman teaches that you were created on purpose for a purpose and that purpose is discovered through discipleship in the context of church community, not isolation.

Jesus’ invitation is clear:
“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

In this sermon we explore:
Why meaning and purpose cannot be found by chasing what the world tells you to chase
What discipleship really is, and why it can be costly (Matthew 16:24)
Why the local church matters for spiritual growth, protection, and wise guidance (Genesis 2:18, 1 Peter 5:8)
Why church is not something you watch, but something you belong to
How God uses community to form you and release your calling (Acts 9, Acts 18)
If you’re exploring faith, coming back to church, or wanting to grow deeper as a Christian, this message is for you.
