Spiritual Maturity

We continue our series on spiritual maturity, focusing on how it relates to leadership and service in the church. Interestingly, in our context, maturity is often mistaken for longevity in the church, holding important titles, or having theological knowledge. Some believers, especially those with influence, seek recognition through power or title roles like pastor, prophet, or leader. But this mindset promotes a culture of status rather than service.

Winning arguments, losing relationships

Sadly, conflicts and divisions within our own church communities have become all too common. Differences in opinion, leadership styles, priorities, or even personality clashes often lead to misunderstandings, gossip, and even verbal harm. These struggles are not new. They echo the tensions we see in the earliest Christian communities, where new believers wrestled with how to follow Jesus in the midst of diverse backgrounds and expectations.

Creativity, Canoas, and Parting Oceans

One of the things I admire most about God is how creative God is. Remember the story of the Israelites escaping Egypt? Pharaoh’s army was chasing them, and right in front of them was the sea. They didn’t have ships. They didn’t even have a single canoa. Still, God didn’t say, “Sorry, there’s no way forward.” Instead, God opened the sea itself. Yes, the sea! That always makes me smile. God doesn’t need a boat when there’s imagination and power at work.
