Ps Sean continues speaking in the theme of 'We Value Church Family'. His message this week is titled "Growing Up". Our children grow up before our eyes but are we growing up in the church family? This is the challenge of Ps Sean's message today.

Some people have been in church most of their life but still don't always show spiritual maturity. Adults can still exhibit childish behaviours both naturally and spiritually. To become more spiritually mature we need to grow closer to God in a personal relationship.

Ps Sean speaks about whether this can be measured...it can certainly be observed! In the book of 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to the church about poor behaviour, how the church is not ready for 'solid food', how they are worldy, how they quarel before speaking later about the spiritual gifts and the greatest gift - love. If we have not love we are clanging gongs!

Ps Sean leaves us with the three key thoughts

• Growing up means Letting Go to walk in true freedom and love
• Growing up means Showing Up
• Growing up means Helping Up
