Tune in to Rooted, a message at Fusion Christian Church about the importance of growing in our faith. In this message, Pastor Matt explains how we can grow both individually and as part of the church.

We are called to grow in our Faith.

If we want to grow closer to God and produce fruit in our lives, we must grow our roots down deep. There are many ways we can grow, but often the tasks that should help us grow become a chore for us. To orient ourselves properly, we must remember the most important commandment of God is to love. First, we love God; second, we love others. If we are genuinely motivated by love, we will continue in healthy growth. While internal and external motivations fade away, eternal motivations never pass away. This is why we must root our desire to grow in love.

How can we best grow in our faith?

• We grow closer to God in solitude.

It is crucial for a healthy spiritual life to spend time alone with God. Make it a priority to set time with God in your day. When you have that time, make sure you limit distractions so that you can focus on God and build your relationship with him.

• We grow closer to God in community.

You are not meant to live life alone. Connecting to a local church is essential for the life of a Christian. You cannot be a healthy Christian if you are not part of a local church.

At Fusion Christian Church, we encourage everyone to join a small group because personal relationships are crucial for building up one another in Christ. Our goal is that 100% of our church members would be part of a small group (or several!). Will you get connected? Will you join a small group?
