## Resource

Salvation is the beginning of our spiritual journey, not the destination. But then what? What are the next steps, and how do we grow from being born again into mature disciples of Jesus Christ? In Episode 4 of "Born Again, What Now?", Duane Sheriff teaches why a good church is essential to spiritual growth and maturity. Drawing from Matthew 16, Matthew 28, Hebrews 10, and other key passages, he explores the church's role as the pillar and ground for truth, the necessity of biblical teaching, and the importance of relationships. When Peter declared that Jesus was the Christ, Jesus revealed that He would build His church upon that revelation and equip His people with keys to the kingdom. These keys represent spiritual authority, discernment, and the ability to walk victoriously in a fallen world. Jesus' Great Commission was not merely to make converts but to make disciples through teaching and training. Whether through a healthy local church or a trusted teaching ministry, believers need a growth track rooted in God's Word. Discover why a good church is one of God's primary tools for helping believers move from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity and become equipped to help others do the same.
