Time to Grow Up A CALL TO FAITHFULNESS 1 CORINTHIANS 3:1-23

A Lack of Faithfulness Paul addresses the state of the church A lack of growth in spiritual maturity The call to grow up

A Lesson in Faithfulness No one role is more important that another –God calls us to be faithful in the role we are in –“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth” –“He who plants and he who waters are one”

A Lesson in Faithfulness God wants to work through His people – “We are God’s fellow workers” – Vs 9 – Ephesians 2:10 – God saved us with the intention of working through us

A Lesson in Faithfulness How we become vessels to be used by God –Seek Spiritual Maturity –Seek Holiness 2 Timothy 2:20-21

A Result of Faithfulness and Faithlessness An Eternal Reward –A reward that stands the test An Eternal Loss –A reward that is destroyed by fire

An Application in Faithfulness Are you seeking to mature in the faith? Are you being faithful in the role you are in? What are you building on the foundation? Will it Last ?
