Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles

In this teaching from 1 Corinthians 3–4, Pastor Lucas Miles unpacks Paul’s rebuke to the Corinthian church for their spiritual immaturity, pride, and divisions. While many in the church were aligning themselves with different leaders and boasting in human wisdom, Paul reminds them—and us—that the gospel is the only true foundation.

This episode challenges listeners to examine where pride, comparison, or tribalism may be creeping into their faith. Pastor Lucas encourages us not to assume the role of Paul in the story, but instead to humbly consider how we might resemble the Corinthians—immature, distracted, and in need of deeper spiritual growth.
