“Don’t Stay Where You Are At”
1 Corinthians 3:1-4

They were satisfied with being carnal.
You are subject to becoming like them in being satisfied with being carnal.
When you become carnal, you begin to relegate scars in your life that you cannot get away from.
God did not save you to be fleshly but to be spiritual and to do something for God.
God has a plan for your life.
Do what you can do where you are at and be faithful at it.
You do not have to have a carnal life; you can have a spiritual life.
Run your life by how you think and you will get in trouble.
Do not live your life by your thinking.
Fleshly thinking will always be contradictory to God’s thinking.
Somebody has kept feeding you even when you were being you.
Paul kept feeding them with milk hoping that they would get something and start desiring meat again.
- Envy will be a way of your life
Resentful of what others have in their life.
You will compare yourself to others.
A carnal person thinks this way.
You will be concerned about what you do not have instead of what you do have.
Your flesh will get your eyes on everybody else.
- Strife
Begins a conflict.
Conflict will begin between you and others.
There is conflict with your flesh, and when you are carnal your conflict comes from others.
Strife causes division to keep you from doing fully what God wants you to do with your life.
Strife can take you out of God’s will and it can ruin your life.
- Divisions
It will come out of your life at church and at home.
Carnality is right around the corner.
One step of carnality will cause a scar you can never get over.
As God has blessed you the devil will do his best to discourage you.
The devil is not a fair fighter. You must stay on your toes and stay on guard.
Carnality can take over your life before you know it if you are not careful.
WALK ON, WALK ON FOR JESUS!
