Growing up in all things

Enfolded in love, let us grow up in

every way and in all things into Him
Who is the Head
Eph 4:15 (Amp)
God wants you to grow

And become all that he intended

you to become:
to be like Jesus Himself
“Brothers, stop thinking like
children. In regard to evil be
infants, but in your thinking be
adults.”
1 Cor 14:20 (NIV)

Growing up Emotionally
Our Feelings – Upsides and
Downsides
 The power of our feelings
• What happened in Genesis 3
• Our new “status”
• How we make choices now
 “it feels good”

Our emotional needs and the

consequences
 It feels so good…
• To be appreciated

• To have influence
• To be in control

You were taught, with regard to
your former way of life, to put off
your old self, which is being
corrupted by its deceitful desires;
to be made new in the attitude of
your minds; and to put on the new
self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness.
Eph 4:22-24 (NIV)
