Trinity

2. Your Personal
Trinity

3. Keeping our spirit, soul, and
body in balance is a key part
of spiritual maturity.
THE POINT

4. Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)
It was he who gave some to be apostles,
some to be prophets, some to be
evangelists, and some to be pastors and
teachers, to prepare God's people for works
of service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up until we all reach unity in the faith
and in the knowledge of the Son of God and
become mature, attaining to the whole
measure of the fullness of Christ.
FULLNESS OF CHRIST

5. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NIV)
May God himself, the God of peace,
sanctify you through and through. May
your whole spirit, soul and body be
kept blameless at the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ.

15. • Stop analyzing where everybody else is and work on
yourself.
• Consider where your circle would be on the chart.
• Make an inventory of how and how often you spend
time strengthening each of the three areas of your
spiritual life:
