Growing up in Christ

from The Messengers · host The Messengers

In this devotion, Marcus unpacks Paul’s words from 1 Corinthians 3:1–9, where the apostle challenges the church in Corinth for acting like spiritual infants. Instead of growing in Christ, they were splitting into camps, following their favorite leaders, and missing the point. Marcus reminds us that Paul planted, Apollos watered—but only God makes anything grow. True maturity comes when we stop idolizing personalities and start centering our lives on Jesus. It’s not about cliques, pride, or spiritual favoritism—it’s about building on the right foundation.
