12. On Growing Up (1 Corinthians 8)

Preached on 17th January 2021 by Rupert Hunt-Taylor.

The twelfth talk in the "How to win at Christianity" series.

Sermon Notes:

- The issue behind the question in Chs 8-10: what is true maturity?

- True maturity understands how the cross reorders our priorities:

v1-3 The purpose of knowledge …is love (not pride)

  • “Your knowledge doesn't show what you think it shows!”

v4-6 The goal of life …is our Father (not our freedom)

  • “God’s uniqueness doesn’t mean what you think it means!”

v7-13 The danger we worry about …is losing souls (not looking weak)

  • “Your message doesn't say what you think it says!”
