Rejoice | Week 4 - Slow Growth, Deep Roots

In a world wired for microwaves and instant results, following Jesus often feels frustratingly slow. But discipleship isn’t fast food—it’s more like a crock pot. It simmers. It forms. It changes you over time. In Philippians 4:4–9, we’re reminded that joy, peace, and spiritual maturity don’t come from striving harder, but from ordering our lives differently: abiding instead of hurrying, attentiveness instead of distraction, obedience instead of comfort. Growth may feel slow, but it produces the sweetest fruit. ✨ Key Takeaways • Following Jesus is usually slow, steady, and forming, not instant. • Modern culture disciples us toward hurry, distraction, and comfort—Jesus invites us to abide, seek first, and remain. • Prayer and gratitude reorient anxious hearts and make space for God’s peace. • True growth happens when we practice the way of Jesus consistently over time. • As a church family, we’re stepping into 2026 as a Year of Growth—together. 📖 Scripture Focus • Philippians 4:4–9 — Joy, prayer, gratitude, peace, and practice • Matthew 6:33 — Seek first the Kingdom • John 15 — Remain, abide, bear fruit
