Grow in Faith | Pastor Daniel Floyd

Main message: Growth in faith is God’s design and expectation — it’s a process of maturing into Christlikeness that requires both God’s work and our intentional participation. True maturity is measured by transformed lives (not mere attendance or information) and is primarily worked out in community.

Key points:

• The church’s purpose is disciplemaking: lead people to know God, grow in faith, and live on mission; this sermon focused on the “grow in faith” part.
• Growth is expected and natural — God isn’t finished with you — but it requires your active “leaning in” as God brings increase.
• Maturity is transformation, not just more information or time in church; signs include treating people well, discernment, standing firm, and the ability to suffer well.
• You can’t fully mature alone; freedom and lasting change happen in relationships, confession, accountability, and small-group community.
• Practical invitation: stop treating faith like checkboxes, pursue ongoing growth, join or lead a small group, and seek honest community to walk out freedom.
