"Our journey with Christ will include all these stages, struggle, distraction, stagnation, and yes, flourishing. The good news for us is that our growth depends not on our own efforts, or our sheer will alone, but on the one who sows the seed and cares for it, watering it abundantly and making it very plenteous."
In his sermon, the Rev. Patrick Keyser reminded us of the constant growth and change we must expect as we follow Christ.
