About this episode
Pastor Dell discusses principles for building spiritually mature faith communities based on Paul's final commands to the Corinthian church.
Pastor Dell continued our series "A Church Worth Becoming" as he picked up where we left off in 1 Corinthians 16. Paul's final commands to the Corinthian church provide a blueprint for building spiritually mature faith communities. Churches must stay vigilant against false teaching and spiritual drift, stand firm on gospel truth rather than cultural preferences, demonstrate courage in obedience and confronting sin, and wrap all actions in genuine love. Additionally, recognizing and honoring faithful servants encourages continued devotion to ministry. These five principles help churches develop deep spiritual roots that can withstand any storm, creating communities that reflect Christ's character and endure through challenges.
