Spiritual Maturity: Growth in Discipleship, 1 Corinthians 3

August 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

Growth chart

Introduction

Growth and development is required in the workplace and in athletics, but is sadly ignored in many churches.

Spiritual Maturity

  1. You need to be in step with the spirit of God (Galatians 5:16-17, Jude 10).
  2. You need to be nourished by the Word of God (Hebrews 5:12-14).‬
  3. You need to be given toward serving others.
  4. You need to work at it.

Expectations for Believers

  • We are God’s field (1 Corinthians 3:5-9).
  • We are God’s building (1 Corinthians 3:10-15).
  • We are God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16-17).

Conclusion

God isn’t just interested in justification (declaring us righteous in his sight), but also sanctification (living out our faith).
