How to Grow Spiritually by Serving

From YouTube

Description

If your faith feels stalled and you want to know how to grow spiritually, Jesus' last words in Matthew 28 point you toward serving people. Pastor Kaloma says believers grow when they give themselves to God and to other people, and he means time and care, not money. In the Great Commission he finds the shape of that growth: help people belong, teach by how you live, and give your hands to the mission. In this sermon, preached in 2025, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Matthew 28:19-20 and shows why a church should be a movement and never a museum. Questions this sermon answers How do you grow spiritually as a Christian? Serve people, because Pastor Kaloma says growth in the kingdom is measured by what you release. What is the Great Commission? It is Jesus' last command in Matthew, sending his followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching them, with his promise to be with them always. Why does serving at church matter? A hello in the parking lot or a welcome to a child at the door can be the first genuine greeting someone has heard. Do I have to be perfect to serve? No, God keeps perfecting us day by day, and Pastor Kaloma says his own faith grew one small step of trust at a time.
