The Christian life is not about rule-keeping and self-reliance. It's about living in a relationship with Jesus where you become more like Him. In this message, Pastor John looks at Paul's counsel to a young church leader and how we can G.R.O.W. in godliness.

We live in a free-fall world of anxiety and insecurity. For followers of Christ, a lack of confidence can lead to problems with joy, prayer, and evangelism. In this message, Pastor John looks at how confidence in God's faithfulness to hold His people secure is central to the gospel.
