Elements of Spiritual Growth (Part 2) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

Another key reason the Thessalonian Christians grew in the Lord was on account that they became followers of the churches in Judea. The word “followers” is from the word mimetes {mim-ay-tace'} which means “to imitate, to copy, to impersonate, to mirror or echo." It forms our English word "mimic." What the Holy Spirit did in the Jerusalem church, He did in the Thessalonian church. Both faced the same type of trials as we will see. What you follow does affect your life, whether it is a person or a path. One big reason is because what you follow has your attention or your focus. It beckons your eyes, your ears, your nose, legs, feet, and arms to come to attention. These are all needed when you follow something. In this message, we examine nine principles involved in following Jesus. We look at what we should follow based on the Bible. This message was preached on Sunday morning, January 10, 2021 at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
