Are you still drinking spiritual milk when you should be eating solid food? In this challenging and insightful message, Pastor C.F. Rainey tackles the critical process of spiritual growth and maturity.

Drawing from Ephesians 4 and 1 Peter 2, this teaching explores how our spiritual development should mirror natural growth patterns – moving from infancy to maturity. Pastor C.F. vulnerably shares his own journey of discovering God's purpose for his life and emphasizes that regardless of how long we've been believers, we must honestly assess our spiritual maturity.

The message delves into distinct characteristics of spiritual babies: their positive innocence but problematic ignorance, irritability, and dependency. Through vivid illustrations and scriptural foundations, we learn why it's dangerous to remain in spiritual infancy. Just as parents must wean children from bottles and constant attention, believers must progress beyond requiring constant spiritual "hand-holding."

"You may be a 40-year-old baby still," Pastor C.F. cautions, highlighting how many Christians remain stunted despite years in the faith. He emphasizes the critical importance of being selective about what we spiritually "ingest," comparing false teachings to poisonous food that looks appealing but causes harm.

Perhaps most powerfully, the message challenges us to track our spiritual progress: "You should not be in the same place spiritually today that you were a year ago." This teaching equips believers with practical wisdom for advancing in their faith journey, moving from milk to bread in their spiritual diet.

Whether you're a new believer or have walked with God for decades, this message will inspire honest self-examination and renewed commitment to spiritual growth. Listen now to discover where you are on the spiritual maturity spectrum and how to progress toward the "measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."

What does it mean to truly grow up in your Christian faith? In this thought-provoking message, Pastor C.F. Rainey tackles the challenging topic of spiritual maturity with both humor and biblical depth, drawing from Brother Hagin's teachings and Paul's instructions in Ephesians 4.

When Jesus ascended, He didn't leave us orphaned or unprepared. He gave specific gifts to the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—to equip believers for ministry and build them up spiritually. But why do so many Christians remain spiritual infants despite years or even decades in the faith? Unlike physical growth, which happens naturally with time, spiritual development requires intentional engagement and a willingness to be transformed.

Pastor C.F. explores the three stages of spiritual development—babyhood, childhood, and adulthood—with practical insights into the characteristics of each stage. He challenges listeners to honestly evaluate where they stand in this progression. Are you still requiring constant attention like a spiritual baby? Or are you maturing toward Christ-likeness and becoming equipped to serve others?

The message takes a particularly powerful turn when addressing unity within the body of Christ. "You can disagree without being disagreeable," Pastor C.F. notes, illustrating how maturity enables believers to maintain fellowship despite differences. He also tackles the delicate balance of "speaking truth in love"—emphasizing that honesty without kindness fails to reflect Christ's character.

Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with God for decades, this message offers a compelling invitation to move beyond spiritual infancy toward the "measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Take an honest look at your spiritual development and commit to the growth process God intends for every believer. Listen now and discover practical steps toward genuine Christian maturity.

Have you ever considered that when Jesus rose from the dead, you rose with Him? This profound spiritual truth forms the cornerstone of Pastor C.F. Rainey's powerful Easter message that will forever change how you view your Christian identity.

Drawing from Paul's letters to the Corinthians, Galatians, Romans, Colossians and Ephesians, Pastor Rainey unpacks the revolutionary concept that believers don't just benefit from Christ's resurrection—they actively participate in it. "Your old self died on that cross with Jesus," he explains, challenging the common misconception that Christians are merely "forgiven sinners" rather than completely new creations.

Using the compelling analogy of Neo from The Matrix, Pastor C.F. illustrates how unbelievers are spiritually dead while thinking they're alive. Just as Neo discovered the simulation wasn't reality, our salvation experience reveals that what we thought was "life" before Christ was actually spiritual death. "You weren't alive at all, you were dead. But the whole time you thought you were alive," he notes, highlighting the dramatic shift that occurs when we're born again.

The message explores how this resurrection identity transforms everything—from our self-perception, to our approach to life's challenges and even our view of death. When we truly grasp that we're seated with Christ in heavenly places with all things under our feet, we face problems with divine perspective rather than earthly panic.

Ready to experience the full power of your resurrection with Christ? This message will help you leave behind old identities and step into the authority, freedom, and new life that Jesus secured for you over 2,000 years ago. Your testimony isn't just that you're forgiven—it's that you were dead and now you're alive in Him!
