Mature In My Mouth

Jun 15, 2025    Pastor Stefen Gage

In this powerful message, we're called to examine our spiritual maturity through the lens of 1 Corinthians 13:11. The central theme revolves around growing up in our faith, particularly in how we communicate. We're challenged to mature in three key areas: our words, our thinking, and our understanding. The power of our speech is emphasized, reminding us that 'death and life are in the power of the tongue' (Proverbs 18:21). This isn't just about what we say, but how our words reflect our hearts and shape our reality. Are we speaking life into our situations, or are we unconsciously cursing ourselves and others? The message urges us to align our thoughts with God's will, understanding that our actions follow our thoughts. It's a call to renew our minds (Romans 12:2) and focus on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). As we mature, we're encouraged to shift from self-centered thinking to God-centered understanding. This journey of spiritual growth isn't tied to age, but to our willingness to let go of childish ways and embrace God's wisdom. It's a timely reminder that our spiritual maturity impacts every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our faith walk.
