This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today we continue with our series called Building Character.

In these teachings, Pastor Rick teaches us why it's important for us to mature in our

faith.

He shows us how to continually grow and develop spiritually so we can become more like

Jesus.

Before we get started, we want to let you know that very generous friends of the ministry

are offering a hundred thousand dollar matching grant.

Right now, here's Pastor Rick with the final part of a message called Making Hard Changes
