GROW UP | 1 Corinthians Series | Rev.Lawrence Musunte | filmed by Mwitwa & Jean-Pierre.

In this sermon, Rev. Lawrence Musunte explores the theme of spiritual maturity within the church, specifically drawing from **1 Corinthians 3:1-9**. The core message challenges believers to "grow up" beyond the divisions and personality-driven conflicts that characterize immature, "fleshly" faith. *Key themes discussed:* *The Problem of Immaturity (3:40 - 18:00):* The speaker uses the metaphor of an adult acting like a baby to illustrate the Corinthian church's state. He explains that being "carnal" or "fleshly" doesn't mean a believer lacks the Holy Spirit, but rather that they are failing to be led by Him, resulting in **jealousy, envy, and division**. *The Nature of Ministry (31:39 - 39:52):* Rev. Musunte clarifies that ministers (like Paul or Apollos*) are not "bosses" or celebrities, but mere **servants and waiters* who deliver the "food" (the Gospel) prepared by the true Chef, God. *Partnership with God (39:53 - 44:20):* He emphasizes that human workers are just "fellow workers" in God's field. While humans may plant seeds or water them, **God alone gives the increase**. Ultimately, the message is a call for the congregation to be "FAT"—**Faithful, Available, and Teachable**—and to move past comparing human leaders toward a deeper, unified walk with God.
