Grow In The Grace and Knowledge
Growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus is an ongoing process that begins with a personal relationship with Him through faith in His death and resurrection. This is true sanctification. Here are a few ways to cultivate a deeper understanding and intimacy with Jesus.

- Study the Bible: The Bible is God's word and it is through reading and studying scripture that we come to know Jesus better. Make it a habit to read and study the Bible daily, focusing on the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) to learn about Jesus' life, teachings, and mission.
- Pray: Prayer is a vital part of our relationship with Jesus. Through prayer, we communicate with God, express our thanks, and ask for His guidance. Take time each day to pray and develop a habit of talking with Jesus as you would with a close friend.
- Worship: Worshiping Jesus through song and music is a powerful way to connect with Him. Singing praise and worship songs, reading through Psalms and other passages of scripture, and listening to worship music can help deepen your relationship with Jesus. Worship should be your life.
- Serve Others: Jesus taught us to love and serve others, and it is through serving others that we can best imitate Him. Look for opportunities to serve your community, whether it's through volunteering at church, para-church ministry, or simply being a friend to someone in need.
- Connect with other believers: Being part of a community of believers is an important aspect of growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. Staying involved at church, 242 groups, or Bible study and engaging in fellowship with other believers will provide support, encouragement, and accountability in your spiritual journey.
