Adult Spiritual Growth

If you have ever ridden an airplane, you know that the airline assistants will instruct you as to what to do when there is a loss of air pressure in the cabin. Help yourself with oxygen before you help you child. Why? If you don't have oxygen in your lungs then you can't help the person next to you.

In the same way God commands spiritual growth through the study of his Word...for our own spiritual need and benefit. Statistics show that on average Behtlehem has a lot of room for growth in the participation of adults in group Bible study.

In these passages, "grow" has the implication of an ongoing process. 1 Peter 2:2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

With these passages in mind, what can we do as leaders in God's church to increase the spiritual growth in the hearts of the members of Bethlehem (in addition to the one hour/week in the Sunday morning worship service)?
