Which Way? | 1 Corinthians 4:6–17

This week’s message picks up the momentum from D-NOW’s theme, “THE WAY,” and presses the question deeper: Which Way are you actually walking?

In Which Way?, we open to 1 Corinthians 4:6–17 and confront four defining realities of the Christian life:

1️⃣ How Are You Viewed? (vv. 6–13)
Your life is preaching a sermon long before your mouth ever does. Scripture reminds us in 1 Timothy 3:7 and 1 Peter 2:12 that our reputation matters—not for ego, but for witness. As A.W. Tozer said, “The world is not won by argument but by example.” You are an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). The question is: Are you clarifying Jesus to the world… or confusing Him?

2️⃣ Discipleship Is Key (vv. 14–15)
We don’t just need more information—we need transformation through intentional relationships. Echoing the command of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20), this message calls believers to move beyond programs and into personal disciple-making. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned, “Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.” Faithful men and women reproduce faithful men and women (2 Timothy 2:2). Disciples make disciples.

3️⃣ What Will You Imitate? (v. 16)
You become what you behold. The apostle Paul boldly says, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1). From Tim Keller’s reminder that “You don’t become what you want. You become what you worship,” to Voddie Baucham’s warning that you are discipling your children whether you intend to or not—this message challenges you to examine your patterns, influences, and example. Change the ingredients, and you change the outcome.

4️⃣ Which Way? (v. 17)
Like Joshua’s call in Joshua 24:15, the decision is personal and urgent. There are only two paths—life or destruction (John 10:10; Romans 6:23). Following Christ is not passive. It requires cross-bearing before crown-wearing, as Charles Spurgeon powerfully said.

This episode is a bold call to examine your witness, embrace intentional discipleship, choose Christlike imitation, and settle once and for all the direction of your life.

Which Way are you going?
Which Way are you showing?
Which Way will you choose today?

Podcast Title: Spirit Led
Text: 1 Corinthians 2:10–16
Preached February 22 | Liberty Church | Pastor Eric Stewart

This week, our Lead Pastor, Eric Stewart, launched us into our new journey through the book of First Corinthians with a bold and necessary challenge: If we truly want revival, we must be Spirit led.

Flowing out of last week’s question — “Do I Want Revival?” from Epistle to the Galatians — we were reminded of this foundational truth:

To be Spirit led, I must be Spirit fed.

In this powerful message from 1 Corinthians 2:10–16, Pastor Eric unpacks how the Holy Spirit actively works in the life of every believer:

• The Spirit Reveals – He illuminates Scripture and reveals the glory of Christ.
• The Spirit Searches – He penetrates the deep things of God and transforms us from the inside out.
• The Spirit Knows – He intercedes in our weakness and invites us into intimate relationship.
• The Spirit Gives Understanding – Not new revelation, but new sight into the truth already written.
• The Spirit Teaches – He is not a force, but a Person who leads, convicts, and reminds us of truth.
• With or Without Him? – You are either operating in self-made strength or God’s supernatural power.

This message is a clear call to move beyond information into transformation. The Holy Spirit gives us:

• Power to stand
• Power to speak
• Power to overcome
• Power to endure
• Power to be forgiven
• Power to become who God has called us to be

The question is simple and unavoidable:

Are you with Him or without Him?

If you’re hungry to live strengthened in your inner being, walking in supernatural power instead of self-reliance, this episode will challenge and equip you to be Spirit fed — and therefore Spirit led.

Listen now and allow the Spirit to reveal, search, teach, and strengthen you from the inside out.
