What if growing closer to Jesus means learning to obey Him out of love, lean on His Spirit, and trust Him through every trial?

In this third part of the message from 2 Peter 3:18, Pastor Kent continues the series “Growing in the Grace and Knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Building on the habits we’ve already explored, he unpacks more essential practices that help us deepen our relationship with Him in everyday life.

Watch Parts 1 and 2 first if you haven’t already, then jump into Part 3.

In Part 1 we saw that eternal life is a real, intimate relationship with Jesus—not just religious activity—and we began looking at the essential habits that help us grow in that relationship.

This week Pastor Kent continues the series by teaching the remaining habits of holiness and then pulls everything together into a simple, practical training plan you can actually live out. These practices are designed to shape your soul so that, over time, you respond to life more and more like Jesus would.

Watch Part 1 first if you haven’t already, then jump into Part 2.

In this message, guest speaker Rhett Rakhshani talks about the narrow road that few find—the one that actually leads to life. We look at what happens when we build our lives on anything other than God, how quickly it can all be taken, and why choosing faith, peace, and gratitude even in the middle of suffering might be one of the most powerful things you ever do.
