10/26/2025 - Sedrick Ballenger - Let's Go On To Perfection
Bro. Sedrick calls for believers to spiritual growth — to move beyond the basics of salvation and continue maturing in Christ. The enemy tries to keep believers comfortable, complacent, and spiritually still, but God calls us to increase in love, obedience, commitment, and usefulness. We are not meant to remain where we started; we are called to grow, strive, and go on to perfection in Christ.
3 Key Takeaways
Comfort is Dangerous to Spiritual Life
The enemy tries to keep believers satisfied, stagnant, and spiritually relaxed. True Christian living requires movement, effort, and intentional growth.
We Must Leave the Basics and Mature
It is not enough to simply say we are saved. God calls us to grow in character, holiness, compassion, faithfulness, and service — going from milk to solid food.
Striving Keeps Us Strong
A Christian who presses forward, seeks God in prayer, stays connected to the church body, and keeps their heart tender is protected and strengthened. Growth requires effort.
Scriptures
Hebrews 6:1 – Calls believers to move beyond foundational teachings and grow into maturity.
Ephesians 6:10 – Encourages believers to be strong in the Lord, not spiritually weak or passive.
2 Corinthians 7:1 – Teaches that believers are to cleanse themselves and keep growing in holiness.
Titus 2:14 – God saves us to make us a zealous and active people, not passive Christians.
Luke 13:24 – Jesus says to strive to enter — spiritual growth requires effort and intention.
John 15:2 – God prunes and refines us so that we can bear more fruit in our lives.
