Maturity | John Eric Manjares


Listen Later

Maturity isn’t measured by years, titles, or theology—it’s measured by how much you resemble Christ.


In this sobering and Christ-centered message, Pastor John Eric Manjares reminds us that the true goal of the upward call of God is not elevation, but imitation. Drawing from Philippians 2 and 3, we are led to understand that real spiritual growth doesn’t lead to applause—it leads to the cross.


You’ll learn:

  • Why Christlikeness is the goal of maturity—not ministry success

  • How Jesus modeled the path to maturity through humility, servanthood, and obedience

  • Why letting go of reputation is necessary for transformation

  • What it really looks like to embrace the cross daily as a believer
