Taken Aside

Think about the most significant moment of spiritual growth in your life. The moment something clicked about Jesus, about yourself, and about the gospel. I'd be willing to bet it didn't happen alone.

Acts 18:23–28 gives us one of the most overlooked passages in the book of Acts, and one of the most practical. No miracles. No prison breaks. No courtroom drama. Just a tentmaker couple pulling a gifted preacher aside at their kitchen table, and a man humble enough to listen.

This is what gospel maturity actually looks like. Not raw giftedness. Not spiritual celebrity. But the posture of a disciple who stays teachable, stays accountable, and stays bold... because they know they are part of a chain that started long before them and will extend long after them.

In this message, Pastor Kurt Aichele traces four marks of a maturing disciple through the stories of Paul, Apollos, Priscilla, and Aquila, and shows how Christ advances His gospel not through extraordinary people, but through ordinary disciples who pour into the one right in front of them.

Four marks of gospel maturity:

- Leveraging your gifts as the Lord allows

- Staying teachable

- Staying accountable

- Staying bold

There is a Corinth waiting for you. And Christ is still building the chain.
