Join Pastor Ricky Venter for Part 1 of the series "12 Marks of Christian Maturity" as he dives into two important signs of spiritual maturity. In this episode, we explore how true Christian maturity is reflected in our relationship with possessions and how we love others. *Our Attachment to Stuff As Christians, it's crucial to recognize that everything we have comes from Jesus (James 1:17), and we are called to use these blessings for God's kingdom (1 Timothy 6:7). In Matthew 6:21, Jesus reminds us that our hearts follow our treasures, and Acts 20:35 shows that mature Christians find joy in giving rather than holding on to material things. *How We Love Other People Christian maturity is also evident in how we treat others. Ephesians 4:32 teaches us that forgiveness is a sign of maturity, while James 3:5-6 reminds us of the power of our words to build up or tear down. Mature Christians seek peace and reconciliation, as expressed in Romans 12:18.

True transformation begins with your thoughts. Surrender them to Christ, as we are called to in 2 Corinthians 10:5.

In this final part of our series on the Marks of Christian Maturity, Pastor Ricky Venter dives deep into three key aspects of spiritual growth: humility, serving others, and perseverance. Humility Acknowledges Our Dependence on God "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." – Mark 10:45 True humility starts with recognizing our need for God and acknowledging that we can do nothing apart from Him. True Humility Leads to Serving Others As the fruit of the Spirit is evident in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23), we are empowered to serve others selflessly. Jesus teaches us in John 15:5 that only by remaining in Him can we bear lasting fruit. Perseverance and Endurance Life’s trials test our faith, but as James 1:2-4 reminds us, through perseverance and endurance, we grow into mature and complete believers, lacking nothing. Be blessed as you watch and reflect on these powerful truths!

In this powerful sermon, Breaking Free: The Tithe, Generosity & Total Surrender, Pastor Ricky Venter dives into the heart of giving and surrender. Tithing isn’t just a financial act; it’s an expression of trust and recognition that everything we have comes from God. When we offer the first portion, we’re not just obeying a command—we’re aligning our hearts with God’s purpose for our lives. Pastor Ricky explores profound passages, from Acts 4:32-35, where believers shared everything to meet each other's needs, to Mark 12:41-44, where Jesus honors the widow who gave out of her poverty, not her abundance. True generosity, as Pastor Ricky explains, isn’t about the amount but the heart behind it. In Matthew 19:16-22, we’re reminded that Jesus calls us to radical giving and a life surrendered fully to Him. Psalm 24:1 resonates with this message, affirming that "the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it." Join us as we unpack the deeper meaning of tithing, generosity, and a life of complete surrender to God’s will. This sermon is a call to break free from a scarcity mindset and embrace the blessings that come with trust and radical generosity.
