First Corinthians chapter three, we're going to do verses one through four.

0:03.9

For my part, brothers and sisters, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people,

0:09.4

but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.

0:12.6

I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, since you were not yet ready for it.

0:17.9

In fact, you are still not ready because you are still worldly. For since

0:22.6

there is envy and strife among you, you are not worldly and behaving like mere human.

0:27.6

Are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans? For whenever someone says I belong to Paul,

0:33.6

and another I belong to Apollos, you are, are you not acting like mere humans? So what's happening here in these

0:40.3

first four verses is Paul is talking about baby Christians, but not in the baby Christians in the

0:45.6

way that you and I talk about it. Like, for example, we might say, I have this friend, they're a baby

0:50.7

Christian. And what we mean by that is they're new to the faith, right? What Paul is saying here is a lot of times Christians who have even been in the faith for a long time

1:00.1

1:05.9

Even if they've been a Christian 10 years, 20 years, 10 weeks, two months, whatever,

1:12.1

you can still have an immaturity in your faith. And it's mainly sought out in one thing. And that's what Paul's

1:18.0

going to talk about as jealousy. So the way to know is someone is mature in Christ is jealousy,

1:24.0

whether or not they're jealous of other believers or anyone out there. So we're going to talk

1:27.6

about that today. But I think a good example just to intro this, so we're on the same page, is in

1:32.0

1 Samuel chapter 18, 6 through 11. 1st Samuel chapter 18, 6 through 11 is a little picture of

1:39.9

King Saul, King Saul. So Saul was the first king of Israel. You know, God is the first king of Israel

1:46.0

if you want to go that way. But the people are like, we want a king. God's like, you don't need a

1:51.0

king. I'm your king. But they're like, but all the cool people have kings. So we want to have a king

1:57.0

too. So God's like, okay, I'm just going to say it now. I told you so, so I don't have to
