Luke 4:38-44
1 Corinthians 3:1-9
(1) Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. (2) I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, (3) for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men? (4) For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly? (5) Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him? (6) I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. (7) So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. (8) Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. (9) For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
Psalms 33:12-15,20-21
(12) Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. (13) Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. (14) From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, (15) he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works. (20) Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. (21) For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Luke 4:38-44
(38) He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her. (39) He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them. (40) When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. (41) Demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. (42) When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them. (43) But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.” (44) He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Luke demonstrates Jesus’ altruism and compassion as He heals the ill and shares the good news.

Great writing skills! The descriptions are delicate and vivid, easily creating a sense of immersion for readers.
It is not only easy to read but also makes the content more rich and interesting.
Interesting passage! It reminds me of team dynamics. It’s like building a winning team in Retro bowl . Everyone has a role, some plant, some water, but God, or in the game, the player, directs the growth. Focusing on individual glory leads to divisions, like choosing favorites instead of focusing on winning the Retro Bowl. Working together, with God’s direction, or a sound game plan, is key to success.

It’s interesting how Paul addresses the Corinthian church’s immaturity. It reminds me of how we can get stuck in certain phases of life, focusing on the trivial instead of growing. Even in something as simple as a game like Bitlife , it’s easy to get caught up in superficial achievements instead of the broader story and deeper goals.
This really resonates with me. It’s a reminder that spiritual growth is a journey, flappy bird. We all start somewhere, and sometimes we get caught up in comparing ourselves to others, like Paul mentions. It’s easy to get distracted by the world. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all, but finding moments of quiet reflection is key. Focusing on small, simple actions, like acts of kindness, can make a difference. It’s a bit like those easy games we sometimes play to unwind – a simple task to help us relax and recenter.
It’s humbling to read how even the early church struggled with divisions, as Paul describes in 1 Corinthians. It reminds me that spiritual growth is a process, and we all start as “babies” in faith. Sometimes, we need a block breaker, something that shatters our preconceived notions and pride, allowing God to truly work in us. Like Jesus healing Simon’s mother-in-law in Luke, we need that same touch of grace to serve and build unity, not division.
