Tribe on the Move 04/06/2025

Tribe on the Move As we get older, no one wants to be seen as immature. Not in the way that we speak, in the way we work, or even in the way we appear. How do we know if we are holding onto immature beliefs when it comes to our faith? To get a better understanding for believers today, we turn to the book of 1 Corinthians, where we will contrast the immature believers of the Corinthian church with the maturity the apostle Paul was calling them to in his letter. /episode/index/show/blackrock/id/36025075
