Manchester explounds 1 Corinthians 2:61. The goal is maturityManchester examines the difference between human and spiritual maturity. He challenges the audience to consider what/who we pray in relation to maturity. Manchester shows that the goal of praying for maturity is sanctification. He speaks on the Western world's goals of health and happiness. Manchester examines the process for santification including truth, fellowship, trial, and obedience.2. The cross is the priorityNot worldly maturity - not gravitating to the things of the world, and avoiding society's value within the church. He argues that average speaker in the church is designed to avoid a cult, and that the Bible highlights the falleness of people. This, alongside the gospel, shows our complete dependance on God. He shows that the gospel is both the power and wisdom of God. Manchester explains the significance of Jesus' death, as this is the substitution for us. He explores Jesus' victory over all principalites and powers.3. The choice is eternityMessage of wisdom amongst the mature, which the world will never get. He looks at the world's priorities, where the church starts to believe this, but that the biggest thing to understand is the bridge that Jesus has laid.
