1st Corinthians 3:1–9

Have you ever felt distracted in your faith journey, fixated on personalities rather than purpose? Pastor J reminds us that the early church in Corinth struggled with similar issues, caught up in divisions and ego, as articulated in 1 Corinthians 3. He presents three vital requirements for a healthy church: 1) Recognize Your Role, 2) Rely on God, and 3) Rejoice in the Work. Pastor emphasizes that spiritual maturity transcends human leaders; it’s about surrendering to God's divine mission of evangelism and discipleship. As he draws from his experiences—comparing the church to his coaching in Little League—he explains that just as teamwork is essential in sports, unity around God’s purpose is crucial in the church. We must depend on God for growth, acknowledging that apart from Him, our efforts bear no fruit. Furthermore, Pastor calls our community at Kapahulu Bible Church, celebrating 75 years of faithfulness, to embrace their roles joyfully, serving in harmony for the Kingdom. So, the urgent question remains—will you recognize your role, depend on God, and rejoice in serving together for His glory? It’s time to actively engage in God’s mission and ensure we leave a legacy of faithfulness.
