In our Tuesday reflection on 1 Corinthians 4:1–13, Paul's biting sarcasm — already you have become kings! — skewers the Corinthians' tendency to boast about their gifts as though those gifts were their own achievement. Paul's point is simple: if what you have is a gift, the praise belongs to the giver, not the recipient. Humility is the only appropriate response to grace. But the heart of the reflection lands on verse 10 — we are fools for the sake of Christ — and the deeply countercultural math of the gospel. When reviled, bless. When slandered, speak kindly. When persecuted, endure. None of that makes sense by the world's standards, and that's exactly the point. Grace that makes too much sense probably isn't grace — real grace is always a gift that wasn't earned, always looks a little strange from the outside, always challenges the world's ledger of fairness and retaliation. Christianity should be a little weird. We serve a God who was raised from the dead, and we ought to live like it — foolishly, joyfully, and fully.Join us for our daily reflections. In 10 short minutes, we'll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help us better understand God's Word.You can read today's passage here.Click here if you'd like to join our GroupMe and receive this each morning at 7:00 a.m. CST.You can watch this reflection in video form and subscribe to my Substack here.
The Apostle Paul called himself “the servant of Christ”, but in his day there really were no servants, only slaves. The Greek word Paul used is better translated “under rower”, the slave who occupied the lowest position in the galley of a ship powered by the sweat of men. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he reflects on Paul's self-evaluation as a minister of Christ.

In one last effort to call the Corinthian church to humble unity centered on the gospel, Paul exposes how their love of worldly honor is completely at odds with the way of Jesus. He then calls them to imitate his example for the sake of their unity together.
We should not be idiots for the sake of it! The church has had enough bad press over the years. But in 2 Corinthians 5:13-15 we are called to be 'Fools For Christ'. To die to reputation and other's opinion of us. This message is a call to arms, like Christian soldiers, to count the cost and join the battle. We will be a fool for something - will it be the love of God? Or are we fools for the love of self or this world? This is a challenging message that calls us back to the claims of Christ upon our lives. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...
The wisdom of God seems like foolishness to the world, and so following God's wisdom inevitably leads to us feeling foolish. The pressure to give in and embrace the "wisdom" of the world can be strong. Resisting takes sacrifice, from passing on a promotion, to ending a relationship, to letting go of ego, and beyond. But until we are willing to be seen as fools by the world, we are not able to fully follow the Lord.

I Corinthians | I Corinthians 3:18-23 | Trent Elliott
Jesus's message will bring even the most hardened enemies together as they try to keep the kingdom from moving forward. Jesus's words and actions will push us to make difficult decisions. When we seek him out, we may find that he calls us to abandon some ways of thinking that we hold as sacred. Jesus will reward our obedience, even if it looks to others like our sacrifice was foolish.

The occasion of Paul's opening remarks in I Cor chapters 1-4 came by way of distorted views of the nature of the church and her leadership. Many in Corinth had a corrupted view of the identity of church influencers and the relationship between these men and the church generally speaking. In writing to correct these errors, Paul is provided opportunity to expound and apply elements of the Gospel that will address these challenges and many others that may present themselves. In the providence of God, we can be thankful for problems arising in the early church which redound to our benefit as we eavesdrop on practical instruction underscored by apostolic authority. In chapter 4, Paul gives his closing arguments on the issue of membership/leadership church relationships before moving on to address other matters of concern in his letter.
In the previous chapters Paul has rebuked the Corinthians for dividing over which human leaders they follow and evaluating them according to worldly measures. In chapter four he explains how Christian leaders should be 'rightly' regarded; as well as what it means to follow them in the 'foolish' way of the cross.
Join us this week as we continue our ACTS series with our Lead Pastor, Miles Fidell, as he explains how facing rejection can actually lead to finding security in our identity in Jesus and how it should compel us to love the lost even more.
In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches that she is no fool who gives what she can not keep to gain what she can not lose.
In 1 Corinthians chapter 1, Paul explains that the Gospel is “foolishness to those who are perishing”. As a result, followers of Christ must be willing to look like fools for Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul says a divided church is an immature church. But what does a mature church look like? How does God build a mature church? Join us as we discover these truths together.Support the show
Those of us who embraced the Christian faith during our childhood and teenage years have memories of how hard it was to live faithful lives in a midst of a culture that encouraged us to do otherwise. Much of our difficulty came from the presence of negative peer pressure. This kind of difficulty is present in the lives of our Christian kids today, but is even more pronounced due to the changes taking place in today's culture. We would do well to share these words from the late justice Antonin Scalia. “God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools and he has not been disappointed. Devout Christians are destined to be regarded as fools in modern society. We must pray for courage to endure the scorn of the sophisticated world. If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.” Parents, share these words with your kids.
In week three of the Grow Up series, Pastor Jordan reminds us that what may look foolish to the world may be faithfulness to God, and as we grow in our spiritual maturity we will realize that servanthood is actually success in the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 4:7-21 - - July 16, 2023
Introduction: If you have your Bibles let me invite you to open with me to the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 4. We will begin reading in verse 6. The Corinthian church were a people caught between two worlds. A people caught between two cultures. They were immersed in Corinthian culture with all of its…
Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 4:6-13 Continuing his exhortations about the arrogance which had taken root in the church in Corinth, Paul draws a sharp contrast between what pride looks like and what humility looks like. It is significant that of the multiplied sins on display in the Corinthian church, the apostle writes about pride first … and spends four chapters to correct this fundamental corruption. In three rhetorical questions, Paul challenges the egotism which had divided the church … and still does today. "What do you have that you did not receive?" … expected answer? Nothing! Then, the logic of verse 7 goes, where is there room for any shredof conceit? Everything is a gift from God. To contemplate this reality is deeply humbling. Heartfelt humility was on display in the life of Paul and the contrast between pride (1 Cor 4:6-8) and humility (1 Cor 4:7-13) comes into clear focus. For Christians, to follow Christ means that there must be a willingness to be reviled and thought of as fools. Christians have always been something of a spectacle to people of the world system. We are often seen as 'scum' and 'refuse' (1 Cor 4:13). Let us live in the humility of being thought of as laughable. The day will come when "the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father" (Mt 13:43).

Our joyful mission to proclaim the good news sometimes makes us feel more like awkward middle schoolers, wanting to fit in and anxious about what others might think of us. Listen as Pastor Zach exhorts us to mature in our faith as joyful fools for Christ for the sake of our souls and those of our neighbors.

We live in a celebrity-loving culture that values fame, reputation, and name recognition. As we seek to serve on God's team, we must recognize that the values that truly matter – servanthood, accountability, trustworthiness, and justice – may make us subject to criticism and even ridicule.
Pastor Rob reminds us that the Bible makes it clear, that the smart thing to do is to become a fool for Christ!
Are you willing to be a fool for Christ?
