TRANSCRIPT
Maturity:
• A mature Chris0an isn’t the person who knows the most.
• The mature Chris0an is the person who OBEYS the truth they know!
But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are s0ll of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
1 Corinthians 3:1-‐3 (ESV)
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamenta9ons 3:22-‐23 (ESV)
