About this episode
This episode explores the concept of 'more' in the context of spiritual growth and prayer, emphasizing the gifts of love, hope, and encouragement as essential for a deeper relationship with God.
What comes to mind when you hear the word “more”? While some good things can become harmful in excess, Scripture shows us there are gifts — like love, hope, and encouragement — that we can never have too much of. In this message, we explore Paul’s prayer in Epistle to the Colossians 1 and discover that God invites us into a kind of “more” marked by deeper prayer, growing goodness, and becoming more truly human in Christ. Paul’s joy in what God is already doing fuels his persistent prayers for increased knowledge of God’s will, wisdom, understanding, fruitful lives, and a walk worthy of the Lord, reminding us that spiritual growth is a process God is committed to. Join us as we learn to move beyond prayer as duty into prayer as delight, asking boldly for the kind of growth God promises to bring about in us and in others.
