As we begin a new year, many of us carry fresh hopes for growth, change, and strength but experience the same patterns breaking down by midyear. In this message, Pastor Trey Hildebrant launches the Built to Last series by asking a deeper question: what does it actually mean to grow in a way that lasts?

Rooted in 1 John, this sermon reframes spiritual growth away from temporary resolutions and toward lasting transformation. True growth is not measured by how much we know, but by how closely our lives reflect what we believe. It is the steady shrinking of the gap between knowledge and obedience, and a daily movement from self-reliance to dependence on God.

Pastor Trey introduces a simple framework for a life built to last: growing up in our relationship with God, in with other believers, and out in love and mission toward the world. Through Scripture, practical examples, and Jesus’ invitation to take on His easy yoke, we are reminded that strength does not come from trying harder, but from drawing nearer.

This message invites us to step into a new year not driven by pressure or performance, but anchored in a faith that endures. Growth. Faith. Dependence.
