  3. Why Spiritual Maturity Shows Up In Conflict | 1 Corinthians | Week 5

    Why Spiritual Maturity Shows Up In Conflict | 1 Corinthians | Week 5

    Something about a handwritten note hits different. It can carry encouragement across decades, drop you back into a moment, and remind you that God was working even when you did not see it. That idea becomes the doorway into Paul’s letters to the Corinthian church, where care and correction sit side by side, and where real spiritual growth gets tested in everyday life. We dig into 1 Corinthians 3 and the sharp contrast between milk and solid food. Spiritual age and spiritual maturity are not the same, and time in church is not the same as becoming like Jesus. We talk about how conflict reveals what is really controlling us, why Matthew 18 pushes us toward reconciliation, and how jealousy, gossip, and retaliation expose immaturity. We also walk through the fruit of the Spirit as a practical growth marker, and we ask a question that gets uncomfortably specific: can we feed ourselves spiritually through prayer and Scripture, or do we live only on Sundays? From there, the conversation turns outward to discipleship and mission. The call is not to stay comfortable in the light, but to go and make disciples starting with our neighbors and moving toward the hard places. Jamie Bridges connects Matthew 7 and 1 Corinthians 3 with a memorable warning: storms test foundations, and fire tests materials. If our foundation is Christ, what are we building with, and will it last when life gets loud? If you want a clear, biblical framework for spiritual maturity, Christian discipleship, and building a faith that holds up under pressure, listen now.

  7. Culture’s Standards Versus Jesus’ Way Of Living | 1 Corinthians | Week 4

    Jun 2

    Culture’s Standards Versus Jesus’ Way Of Living | 1 Corinthians | Week 4

    If you’ve ever felt pressure to sound spiritual, look impressive, or “win” at faith, Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 2 will feel like a deep breath and a gut check at the same time. We talk about why Paul refuses to build the church on charisma or clever communication, and why he doubles down on one message: Jesus Christ crucified. It’s a reminder that spiritual growth, gospel transformation, and a healthy church culture don’t come from performance. They come from the power of God. We also get painfully practical about the clash between culture and discipleship. Culture trains us to protect our image, chase status, and follow feelings. Jesus forms character, humility, servanthood, and surrender. That contrast shows up everywhere: in how we measure success, how we treat people, and how we handle conflict. The Holy Spirit doesn’t just give information, he gives discernment, and we need that if we’re going to think with the mind of Christ instead of the mind of the crowd. Then we sit with a question Jesus asks that still hits hard: “Do you want to be healed?” Because real change brings responsibility. We unpack why so many of us want new outcomes without new habits, why accountability matters, and how listening to the Spirit can turn an ordinary moment into someone else’s turning point. We end with the clearest picture of “mind of Christ” we’ve got: Jesus washing Judas’ feet, and what that means for the people who hurt us. If this challenged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation. Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.
