An Example of Exhortating a Congregation to Worship

Pastor Jack begins a series on the pathway to perfection, challenging the congregation to pursue spiritual maturity rather than settling for mere proximity to God. Drawing from Hebrews 5 and 6, he emphasizes that growth requires discipline and participation, not just devotion, and that perfection is about maturing to what we ought to be at each stage of development. Pastor Jack identifies three areas that reveal our need for growth: when we choose convenience over what’s right, when we surrender to our flesh in the name of weakness, and when we rationalize according to worldly thinking instead of following the Spirit.
