OUTLINE
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:1-12
Text: 1 Peter 2:2-3
Sermon: Nurturing Spiritual Growth
Introduction:
The nurture imagery of 1 Peter 2
The role of the officebearers in nurturing the children of
God
Nurturing spiritual growth
Our officebearers help to insure we are fed
Our spiritual nutrition comes from Gods word
Our identity goal is expressed as a special people of God (1
Pet. 2:9)
Application
Office bearers - dont neglect to feed Gods people; help us to be
living stones in the spiritual house
Congregation dont neglect the opportunities of spiritual
nurture, as Peter explains in this passage, we should lead lives
that lead others to Christ!
