Introduction I want to start off with a question this morning, “How grown up are you?” Children are often times having a contest to see who is going to be the tallest. Being tall means being older to them or more grown up. Maybe you used to keep track of your kids height on a door frame with a pencil…

The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the…

When a church does what God desires, God will grow that church physically and spiritually

With a mountain…
