From Babies to Builders // 1 Cor. 3:1-9
Have you ever wondered what it truly means to grow up in your faith? Pastor Evan challenges us with a striking metaphor - just as it would be absurd for a 30-year-old to still drink from a bottle, it's equally concerning when long-time Christians remain spiritual infants. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3:1-9, he exposes how the Corinthian church's divisions over leadership preferences revealed their spiritual immaturity. Pastor Evan emphasizes that while we plant and water, only God gives the growth - a humbling yet freeing truth for churches seeking revitalization. He points out that true maturity isn't about programs, personalities, or even theological precision on secondary issues, but rather about unity in Christ and faithful service together. The message culminates in a powerful call to action: it's time to move from being babies who fight in the nursery to builders who labor side-by-side in God's field, setting aside rivalries and preferences to serve His kingdom purpose together.
