This sermon explores what it means to be a leader in Jesus' church through the lens of 1 Corinthians 4. Pastor Josh challenges the congregation to embrace the same humility that Jesus demonstrated, contrasting worldly leadership with Christian leadership. The core message emphasizes that all Christians are called to be servants and stewards of God's grace, regardless of their formal leadership position. True Christian influence flows from recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God, and we are entrusted to manage these gifts faithfully for His purposes. The sermon addresses the Corinthian church's problem of division over leaders and calls believers to focus on faithfulness over performance, remembering that ultimate judgment belongs to Christ alone. The message concludes with a powerful reminder that following Jesus may involve suffering, just as it did for Paul and ultimately for Christ himself.
