Pastor Micah Stephens delivers a convicting message from 1 Corinthians 10, urging believers to navigate Christian liberty with discernment in a pagan culture akin to modern California. Drawing from the church’s anchored reading program, he contrasts Rome’s theological legalism with Corinth’s moral struggles, using the example of eating meat offered to idols to illustrate the tension between what’s permissible and what’s edifying. Stephens shares a personal anecdote about his six young children testing boundaries, likening it to Christians flirting with sin’s edge, and challenges the congregation to prioritize glorifying God and building others up over selfish desires. His closing prayer seeks conviction and humility, aligning with Godspeak’s mission to apply biblical truth amidst cultural challenges like AB 495, which he references as a threat to parental rights.
