The truth is sometimes hard to hear. We are broken people. We tend to get jealous. We argue. We do things we shouldn’t do. We get defensive thinking that the way we know is the only way and that other ways are bad. We realize that our witness and our beliefs don’t always add up. We want to grow spiritually. We want to be more like Jesus but sometimes that means taking baby steps first. These small steps seem frustrating but when we realize that it is God growing us, then we see that we have a growth that lasts with a strong foundation to keep growing and being made perfect in love.

Today Pastor Shannon continues our series Ekklesia and shows us that the church is called to be purposeful.
