Knowledge
II Peter 1:5-11: Though our individual goal is to grow to perfection in Jesus Christ, we teach progress, not perfection.
We are to increase in those Christian graces.It marks a healthy, productive Christian.Maturity is about what we do, not what we
know.What is knowledge?
Facts, information, skills acquired by a person through experience or education.

Knowledge
Making the most of our time Eccl. 9:11-12: We will meet our limit. Prov. 3:13-27: Great blessings in seeking wisdom. Eph. 5:10: Find what is acceptable to God.
Pursue God’s wisdom, not man’s What is our mindset when we study? Eccl. 12:13-14: If we seek wisdom, seek it from
God. Job 38:1-7: Who are we to question God? I Cor. 1:18-31: Worldly wisdom vs. Godly wisdom.

Knowledge
What it takes: Maturity II Pet. 1:5-8: Action. I Pet. 4:10-11: Is what I know impacting how I
live?With maturity comes preparation
Amos 4:12: Are you prepared to meet God? Satan is our opponent (Rom. 3:20, 23; Eph.
6:15; I Pet. 5:8). Rom: 8:31: We don’t fight the battle alone. Eph. 5:15, 17: Mental understanding of God’s
will.

Knowledge
Comes from within Psalm 1:1-2: You must develop a good knowledge
of God’s word. Read your Bible; know your Bible; prepare your
Bible lessons; follow along during teaching/preaching.
How much is good Bible knowledge worth to you?II Pet. 3:18Heb. 5:12-14Why is the church today in a crisis? A lack of
knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
