“We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labour, struggling with all energy, which so powerfully works in me.” Colossians 1:28-29 (NIV)
- Maturity Focus: Eternal life is given to those who believe. The focus for this life is maturity and to come to the full knowledge of Christ according to Ephesians 4:12-16.
- Maturity Purpose: Christ gave the command that we go and make disciples of all nations. We seek to know Christ and to make Him known wherever we go. Mature believers bear fruit that lasts. This is what pleases God as is written in John 15:1-13.
- Maturity Power: Apostle Paul urged Timothy to be equipped through the word that was given by inspiration. This would enable him to be up to the task of every good work. II Timothy 3:15-17.
- Maturity Engagement: At PBC we have maturity classes at various levels and one needs to come to the maturity department and will be given useful instructions on how to go about this.
- Maturity Results: Jesus Christ said to those who had believed in Him, “If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” [John 8:31-32]. Transformed believers bring glory to God in their lifestyle and communication.
