Essentials of Christian Maturity

by Alistair Begg

Hebrews 12:12–28
 (ID: 1942)

What matters in the Christian life is not a series of flashy performances but steady persistence that lasts over time. In this message, Alistair Begg unpacks several commands that believers must follow if we are going to endure and grow in discipleship. As Hebrews makes clear, those who wish to reach spiritual maturity must pursue harmony, holiness, and growth in grace. Meanwhile, we must reject bitterness, immorality, and godlessness, remembering that it is the Lord who requires our acceptable worship.
