Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - 2 Peter 1:1-15 (2 Peter 1:1-15; 3:1-2 & 18; Romans 3:19-27; 5:12-21; Philippians 2:12; 3:7-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 & 14-20; 13:13; Mark 12:28-31; John 13:34-35)\n\xa0\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this first lesson, we\u2019ll explore how God is continually at work in our lives. We'll be reminded that salvation is entirely the result of God's love and grace\u2014it is His work alone that saves us! Not only does God save us, but He transforms us from the inside out, making us new rather than just better. We\u2019ll also see that God\u2019s plan for us begins with inner transformation, leading to outward change. Ultimately, spiritual growth is the ongoing work of God, and He is always at work in our lives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\xa0\n\nRemember to Grow: A Study in 2 PeterRemember That God is Working (Lesson 1)\n2 Peter 1:1-15\nI.

Spiritual growth and formation happens when we remember the truth that has already been revealed to us, and respond to it with faithfulness and obedience. We do not need something new, but instead we need to renew our commitment to the way of Jesus!\nWe need to remember so that we can grow!
