The Second Step: Growth – Dr. Charles Stanley

Dr. Charles Stanley emphasizes the importance of continual spiritual growth for Christians after being born again in this sermon "The Second Step: Growth".

Dr. Stanley explains that growth is God's predetermined will, how it protects us from false teachings, and how it deepens our relationship with Christ. He provides a list of evidences for assessing personal spiritual growth, such as:
- Increasing awareness of sin
- Quick repentance
- Seeing trials as opportunities
- Eagerness to obey and serve
- Trusting God's sovereignty
- Lessening of sin's appeal
- Sharing your testimony
- A hunger for God
- And many more.

Dr. Stanley encourages believers to purposefully nurture spiritual growth by obediently pursuing Christ-likeness through disciplined Bible study, prayer, church involvement, and rejecting anything hindering spiritual maturity and fruitfulness.

I've gotten to a place where all I want is the Lord.. I talk to him from daylight to dark. He has been revealing so much to me.. I see his presence in everything.. I'm learning so many lessons.

Only God can truly satisfy our soul, everything else is just a temporary fill in.

Hello, Dr. Stanley. I'm from the Philippines and I have been listening to all your sermons repeatedly. I believe, God led me to Intouch channel so that I can grow spiritually. I have a small cookie business borne during the pandemic. Baking has kept me busy but one thing that I am always excited about when I prepare my cookies is that I get to listen to your sermons. It is like my background music. Your messages resonate with me. Whenever I listen to your stories about our Father, I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement because I have experienced them in my life, too. His amazing love is the reason I keep on moving on. I am an orphan. My parents and my brother were murdered by our helpers at home more than 35 years ago. I was spared. The tragedy led me to understand and experience God's majesty and love. Thank you, Dr. Stanley. I would love to meet you and just hug you and just listen to all your stories about God's goodness and faithfulness.

Dr Stanley I want you to know I lost my husband 8yrs ago. I was listening to your words about the preacher that you went to go listen to, and I want you to know I listen to your words about the Lord everyday. There have been times over these past years that I could not get through my day without your guidance in the Lord. Thank you for your guidance. Thank you for caring so very much. I pray the Lord Blessed and keeps you all of your days..

Thank You Heavenly Father for this servant of yours. He has helped me grow closer to you Son. His teachings and the Holy Spirit have put me back on the narrow path to home.
