Crazy Church Part 3

Dr Dharius Daniels

Thursday, May 1, 2025

Summary

In this teaching on 1 Corinthians 3, Dr. Dharius Daniels addresses the spiritual crisis of carnality that keeps believers stuck in spiritual infancy. While salvation delivers believers out of darkness, true spiritual growth requires allowing God to transform our hearts from within. By examining our spiritual development, spiritual diet, and susceptibility to division, we are challenged to move beyond spiritual settling and step into full maturity in Christ.

Pastor's Points

1.Crisis of Lack of Spiritual Development
2.Crisis of Spiritual Diet
3.Crisis of Division

Key Points

1.Jesus is not just a ticket to heaven, but a rabbi who teaches believers how to live on earth.
2.God uses everyone as examples—some as models of what to do, and others as warnings of what not to do.
3.Observing the imperfections of others should lead to personal learning and self-reflection rather than judgment.
4.Spiritual settling occurs when believers settle for being delivered out of bondage without allowing God to transform their inner nature.
5.Carnality is driven by the fleshly nature that rebels against divine design, requiring daily submission to the Holy Spirit.
6.The acquisition of spiritual knowledge is not equivalent to spiritual growth; true maturity is reflected in character and lived obedience.
7.A believer's spiritual diet directly influences their development, requiring solid biblical teaching rather than just spiritual milk or emotional hype.
8.Division and sectarianism in the church serve as a diagnosis of spiritual carnality and immaturity.

Sermon Moments

“God uses everybody as an example—some as what to do, and others as what not to do.”

“Jesus died to be your savior, but He lived to be your example.”

“Your observations of the imperfections of others should lead to your learning, not your judgment.”

“Deliverance is twofold: God not only wants to get us out, He wants to get it out of us.”

“The acquisition of spiritual knowledge is not the same as spiritual growth.”

“The fruit of the Spirit is not an indication of how much of the Spirit you have, but how much the Spirit has you.”

This Week

Reflect on areas where you may have settled spiritually instead of pursuing complete transformation.
Practice daily desire management by actively submitting fleshly inclinations to the governance of the Holy Spirit.
Evaluate your spiritual diet and make a commitment to study substantive, exegetical biblical teaching.
Use the mistakes you observe in others as a mirror for personal introspection rather than a platform for judgment.
Renew your mind daily through Scripture to align your thoughts and behaviors with God's original design.
Focus on cultivating the fruit of the Spirit as the true measure of spiritual maturity rather than relying on spiritual gifts.
Reject spiritual tribalism and division, choosing to maintain unity and love with fellow believers.

Remember This

Spiritual growth requires moving past spiritual infancy by surrendering your fleshly desires, consuming a substantive spiritual diet, and walking in the fruit of the Spirit.

A Challenge for You

Examine your spiritual growth and diet this week, ensuring you are not merely acquiring information, but actively living out God's Word in daily obedience.
