How and Why We Grow

Peter's exhortation is for believers to grow in their effectiveness for the Kingdom by devouring the word of God. It is only by thoroughly knowing and believing the comprehensive nature of God's word that we can be effective in every aspect of His Kingdom. This sermon emphasizes the importance of knowing how to apply God's truth to every area of life and also shows how 'dualism' and 'pietism' undermine the Christian's ability to be the salt and light that the Lord has called him to be.
