Mature As You Age

by | Feb 22, 2026

Part 8 of 13 | Facing Failure Series

In Mature as You Age, we see that maturity isn’t measured by years in the church, but by a heart that sets itself to seek the Lord and be shaped by His Word.

“Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.”

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2025), 1 Co 10:11–12.
