THE MEASURE OF MATURITY A Sermon on Alignment, Transformation, and the Journey to Righteousness By a Poor Soldier of God --- > “Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” — Ephesians 4:13 --- I. The Call to Alignment: Draw the Bow Church— You were not called to wander. You were not called to drift. You were called to align. The law is not your prison—it is your bow. The Word is not your burden—it is your aim. You were created to aim your life toward something holy. Righteousness is not a rule—it is the target. Paul says, “Live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” That’s not about perfection. That’s about trajectory. --- II. What Pulls the Arrow Off Course There are winds in this world. They come softly, like temptation. They come violently, like anger. They come secretly, like envy. And if your hands are shaky, your soul uncertain, or your eyes unfocused, these winds will drag your arrow away from righteousness. > “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature… anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language…” — Colossians 3:5–8 Sin is not just rebellion. It is misalignment. It doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it whispers, “This will satisfy you faster.” But every time we indulge, we drift further from the target. And so, Paul says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Because only a renewed mind can recalibrate the aim. --- III. The Arrow of the Spirit > “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16 The Spirit is not just wind beneath your wings. The Spirit is the hand that steadies the arrow. You cannot hit a divine target with a worldly arrow. You cannot hit a spiritual truth with flesh-driven desire. But when you walk by the Spirit— You speak truth. You deal with anger before it rots. You share instead of hoard. You forgive instead of fester. This is not lawkeeping. This is alignment. This is what it means to “put on the new self.” --- IV. Maturity Is the Target Church, listen— You are not being punished. You are being shaped. You are being stretched, refined, and drawn like a bowstring— Not to break you, but to launch you. > “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance…” — Hebrews 12:1 Run. Aim. Fire. And realign as many times as it takes. Because maturity is not the absence of struggle— Maturity is the resilience to recalibrate. It is not perfection. It is consistency. It is not sinlessness. It is alignment. --- V. The Closing Reflection: Grow Until You Hit the Mark You are not called to conform. You are called to transform. You are not called to survive. You are called to aim higher. Righteousness is not a moral checklist. It is the moment when your life, your choices, and your spirit all point in the same direction. When your words build, not break. When your hands serve, not steal. When your heart lifts others, not weighs them down. That is maturity. That is the fullness of Christ. And that is your target. --- Closing Prayer Lord, Teach us to aim true. Let Your Word be the bow that steadies us, Your Spirit the breath that guides us, And Your righteousness the target we never stop pursuing. Forgive our drift. Strengthen our grip. Sharpen our vision. And grow us into the fullness You designed for us— Not in noise, but in truth. Not in pride, but in purpose. Not in performance, but in transformation. Amen.

|| #Highlights Sunday Service - 2nd March, 2025 #Pastor Richard Kelvin Venator# ✅The number one foundation for GREATNESS is mental upgrade. Until your mind is upgraded, your life can't be upgraded. And it takes growth in knowledge capacity to have mental upgrade. Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction (Proverbs 10:14). To desire greatness without growth in knowledge is like expecting a goat to give birth to a lion. Listen, everyone is born to be great but only those who are mentally upgraded by growth in knowledge capacity will experience the reality of greatness. You are as great as what you know. I prophesy, you shall find right knowledge to activate the reality of greatness in your life. In Jesus name.

A fitting sermon for MLK Day tomorrow. From January 19, 2025, “In Search of the Beloved Community”: https://youtu.be/KJP79TqVFxo Our text, the opening verses of Isaiah, chapter 11, is one of the classic “hope texts” of the Bible. In a few lines, it paints for us a picture of God’s Peaceable Kingdom, a place and a time in which natural adversaries would somehow be brought together in community. In extension, this passage challenges us to practice hope. Like faith and love, hope must be exercised to have any reality, any staying power. We must dare to do things that move us together in the direction of Isaiah’s vision of the Peaceable Kingdom and MLK’s vision of the Beloved Community.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝟔:𝟏𝟐 𝐀 𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡. What is the easiest way to spot a wicked man or woman? Check their police record? Smell for drugs? Look for tattoos? No, no, no. Listen for a froward mouth. A man’s words say more about him than most other indicators. Evil speech proves an evil man. The description of naughty persons should silence those that love to wag their tongues. This proverb identifies naughty and wicked people (Pr 6:12-15). Wisdom includes discerning character. You must avoid fools and scorners; you must seek wise and good men (Pr 9:7-9; 13:20; 14:7). The world is full of bad people, and wise men will mark and avoid them. The lesson here is that a person’s speech indicates character very well. Of course, they will say, “You do not know my heart, so you cannot judge me.” They say this to justify and excuse their wicked actions. But you can see their hearts clearly, for the froward words of their mouths leak like sewer from their froward hearts (Pr 6:14). Jesus Christ taught plainly that a wicked mouth proves a wicked heart (Luke 6:45). A pure heart is known by gracious speech (Pr 22:11). Good speech does not come from an evil heart, and neither can evil speech come from a good heart. This is wisdom. Learn it. Two words in this proverb are not often used, so review their English definitions. Naughty. Characterized by moral badness or wickedness; bad, wrong, blameworthy, improper. Froward. Disposed to go counter to what is demanded or what is reasonable; perverse, difficult to deal with, hard to please; refractory, ungovernable; bad, evilly-disposed, ‘naughty’. Naughty and wicked people have bad, evil, wrong, or dangerous hearts. They are fools, scorners, or worse. Because you must avoid them, you need to learn to spot them. Their speech will be contrary, unreasonable, negative, critical, ornery, disrespectful, haughty, harsh, rebellious, or profane. They cannot always hide it, for their hearts are evil. Parents, hear and correct such speech in your children. Foolishness and wickedness can be driven out, if you use the rod and reproof early enough (Pr 22:6,15; 23:13-14; 29:15). Permissive or pampering parenting does not work and will produce naughty and wicked persons. Teach children godliness and humility instead and gracious speech at all times. When you spot a naughty person, go from him (Pr 9:7-9; 14:7; 22:10). He will snare your soul, waste your time, or bring contention and trouble. Do not fear him, for calamities are soon coming to his life. God will destroy him suddenly without remedy (Pr 6:15). Paul prayed for deliverance from unreasonable and wicked men, for he knew that only men with good hearts and faith were his object (II Thess 3:1-2). Regeneration makes this difference. Let the lesson teach you to be such a person today (Phil 2:12-13; Eph 4:24). https://letgodbetrue.com/proverbs/index/chapter-6/proverbs-6-12/

https://youtu.be/DkFCjtNbnyM?si=2VcPtwF1yfpXYo_u Recently I had been going through a difficult season...I went to the Lord to inquire about it and he reminded me of a sermon i had preached years ago. when i listened to it i saw more clearly about the importance of God testing our faith. I pray this word will be a blessing to you. Born Again to a Living Hope 1 peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
