What Time is it On Your Spiritual Watch?Pastor Tim JohnsonPrayer and Scripture- Elder Peter Richardson

Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV)“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

MEMORY VERSE:

Digging Deeper:

1. How would you assess your own spiritual growth from 2017? Are there one or two things you could point to specifically as indicators of growth, or, conversely, lack of growth?2. Would you like to grow spiritually in 2018? Did any one point from today's sermon strike you as something you would like to incorporate into a spiritual growth plan for the coming year?3. Carefully read, and re-read 2 Peter 1:5-11. These are principles worth chewing on as we prepare our hearts, minds and hands for 2018.
