In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 4, we are reminded that true Christian leadership is marked by humility, service, and faithfulness—not worldly success or popularity. Paul challenges the pride of the Corinthian church and calls believers to judge leaders by God's standards, not cultural ones. The message highlights the contrast between the apostles' suffering and the Corinthians' desire for triumph, exposing the danger of bringing worldly values into the church. We are called to embrace the wisdom of the cross, understanding that the path to glory often comes through struggle and endurance. This sermon is a powerful call to reject pride and follow Christ in humble, faithful obedience.
