Episode Synopsis

Pastor Dell continued our series on 1st Corinthians this morning, looking at 1 Corinthians 4. True spiritual maturity isn't measured by status or success, but by faithful stewardship of what God has entrusted to us. Paul reminds us that as believers, we're managers of God's gifts, not owners, and our primary requirement is faithfulness rather than fame. Living for God's approval instead of people's applause requires humility and recognizing that God's kingdom operates on different principles than the world. The goal isn't just personal growth, but spiritual multiplication - becoming the kind of person others can imitate to grow closer to Jesus. This means being willing to receive correction, walking alongside others in their spiritual journey, and faithfully stewarding whatever God has given us in our specific circumstances.
