Just because someone attends church on a regular basis doesn’t mean they have reached maturity in their faith. In fact, churches are full of comfortable attendees who have not yet become true disciples. In Colossians 1:28 Paul declares the focus of his toil for the church in Colossae – that he might “present everyone mature in Christ.” What does it mean for us to have this as our goal as well? What exactly is maturity, and how do we help believers move from passive participation to active disciple-making?
