Maturity Comes by Expression, Not Trails

Aug 15, 2025    Collin McGriff

Today’s teaching will remove a common misunderstanding about spiritual growth: trials are not the requirement for maturity.


Hebrews 5:14 says:

“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”


Maturity comes by reason of use—by consistently using the Word, living in it, and expressing it in daily life. Hardship does not create spiritual strength; using what God has already put in you does.

We’ll cover today:

✅ How maturity is the result of exercising what we’ve already been given

✅ Why trials are not God’s method of producing growth

✅ How “use” trains your spiritual senses for discernment
