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
📖 Key Scriptures: Philippians 2:5–8, Philippians 3:14–15, Ephesians 4:11–13
📝 Topics: Spiritual growth, Christlikeness, leadership, cross-bearing
