Scripture
Luke 2:39-52
  • By God’s design, growth takes a lifetime.

Faithful Foundations (2:39-42)

  • A home built on God’s Word establishes lasting stability (39-40).
  • Consistent worship forms compelling faith (41-42).

Cultivating Curiosity (2:43-50)

  • A curious faith keeps leaning in, not checking out (2:43-48).
  • Becoming like your Father begins by being with your Father (2:49-50).

Gradual Growth (2:51-52)

  • Growth happens through steady submission, not automatic arrival (2:51).
  • Spiritual maturity reveals itself across every area of life (2:52):
  • Mental (wisdom), physical (stature), spiritual (favor with God), and relational (favor with people)

  • If your hope rests in the third day, you can’t settle for a stagnant faith.
