About this message

Does God use sickness, pain, and tragedy to teach you lessons? In this Wednesday Bible Study, CJ Nnemeka shows from scripture that the answer is no, and teaches how God actually grows His children. Your spirit is already complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10), but your soul must grow. Learn why growth makes you stable, makes Christ visible in your life, and enlarges what you can carry, plus the six ways God grows you: the Word, the Holy Spirit and prayer, the body of Christ, obedience, serving with your gifts, and responding right to real life.
