1 Corinthians 3:1-23 || Dr Daniel Pampuch

Is it time to grow up? Paul says “Yes!” Dr Daniel Pampuch unpacks 1 Corinthians 3:1-23 and Paul’s no-holds barred challenge to the Corinthians that it is time to grow up into maturity in Christ in the context of the Christian community of the Church. Paul goes as far as to say our spiritual maturity is defined by how we treat others. Using Paul’s three pictures of who we are as a people, Dr Pampuch asks the same question - is what you’re bringing to the church healthy and life-giving, or is it worldly rubbish that can be found anywhere? These three pictures ultimately point to God’s overarching lordship: 1 The Field is God’s - the growth comes from God 2 The Building is God’s - the foundation is Jesus Christ 3 The Temple is God’s - the people is where his Spirit dwells Follow along for our next installment of our 1 Corinthians series - 1 Corinthians 4:1-13.
