About this episode

The episode discusses Paul's critique of the Corinthian church's spiritual maturity as reflected in 1 Corinthians 3.

In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul holds up a mirror to a church that thought it had arrived. They were sophisticated, theologically informed, spiritually experienced. They gathered around impressive teachers and prided themselves on their wisdom. They were, by all appearances, doing quite well. But Paul's assessment? "You are still worldly—mere infants in Christ." __________ Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.
