Deepening Your Consecration

Apr 6, 2025    Pastor Stephen Fraser

The journey of spiritual growth in Christianity progresses through four distinct levels: the crowd who initially come to Jesus, the congregation who join the church community, the committed who develop regular devotional practices, and the core who live fully devoted lives. Moving beyond basic Christianity requires more than belief - it demands transformation through mind renewal and pursuit of God's perfect will. Many Christians plateau in their spiritual growth due to unwillingness to let go of certain aspects of their lives, preferring comfortable Christianity without embracing challenges, or maintaining devotional routines without living truly devoted lives. The path to deeper dedication requires honest evaluation of current spiritual levels, identification of unsurrendered areas, and conscious decisions to climb higher with Jesus. This journey involves practical steps such as establishing regular prayer times, joining ministry teams, releasing worldly habits, and making new commitments to serve.
