10 Signs of Spiritual Growth

Weekly Wisdom for Fall 2025


Come back each week for the next sign, or drive by our church each week and see the "sign" for yourself.

“How do I know if I am growing spiritually?” is a good question for a Christian to ask. For the runner, a stopwatch is a good gauge to see if they are getting faster. For a hitter in baseball, his batting average allows him and his coaches to see if he is hitting well or struggling. For a couple, a bank statement helps them gauge whether they are saving money or spending too much. So, for a Christian, what are the gauges that show whether we are growing stronger spiritually? Over the next ten weeks, we will share ten gauges to help you see if you are growing spiritually stronger.

  1. A hunger for the Word of God - 1 Peter 2:2-3
  2. A life that exemplifies the fruit of the Spirit - Galatians 5:22-23
  3. A personal relationship with Jesus - John 15:15, John 14:2
  4. A sensitivity to sin - Romans 7:22-23, Romans 6:12, Romans 12:2
