Listen "The Key to Continual Growth"
Episode Synopsis
John Swadley | Matthew 7:24-29In this message from Matthew 7:24–29, we’re reminded that spiritual growth isn’t about stacking up more knowledge—it’s about putting God’s Word into action. Jesus says the wise build on rock, not sand, and the difference is obedience. Hearing His words is step one. Living them out is step two.Flat faith happens when we only listen but never apply. But when we actually obey Jesus’ commands—loving enemies, forgiving, giving generously—our faith gains strength to withstand any storm. True discipleship is less about information and more about transformation.At the heart of it all is not just believing something but believing Someone. Our faith is in Him. And the key to continual growth is simple: hear His words, do His words, and watch your relationship with Christ come alive.
