Mature

What does it really mean to grow up in faith? This message takes us deep into 1 Corinthians 13, where Paul draws a sharp line between childish ways and the kind of mature, liberated faith that God calls us toward. We explore the important distinction between being childlike, marked by genuine curiosity and wonder, and being childish, marked by self-centeredness and an insistence that everyone conform to our own image of what faith should look like. The spiritual insight here is both challenging and freeing: a mature faith does not demand guarantees. It trusts. It bends without breaking. It holds firmly to the unchanging truths of salvation and scripture while remaining open and generous about the forms that worship and tradition can take across generations. This is a message for anyone who has ever felt locked in by religion rather than set free by it.
