“To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete" (Nike).

"To accelerate the world's transition

to sustainable energy" (Tesla).

"To organize the world's information" (Google). The best

companies in the world are crystal clear about what their “win” is, and everything–resources,

decisions, strategies–all are directed accordingly. For the Apostle Paul, his clear win was to reach

people for Jesus. So… what’s your win?

Have you thought you were something only to learn you weren’t as incredible as you thought? If you suffered from a delusion of grandeur, would you want to know? In this week’s passage, Paul calls out the Corinthian believers for their over-inflated sense of greatness. They believed they had already arrived at spiritual maturity and enlightenment–surpassing even the Apostles! And Paul had every intention of bursting their egos.

Have you ever bought something that looked good, but turned out to be poor quality? Quality is determined by two things: the manufacturer’s skill and the quality of the materials they use. In this passage, the Apostle Paul challenges his readers that their spiritual foundation–Jesus himself–warrants only their best skill and the choicest materials for building their lives both individually and corporately.

Depending on who you ask, A.I. is either the greatest threat to humanity’s existence… or a soon-to-be form of higher intelligence with the potential to solve all the world’s problems and usher in an era of human flourishing never before imagined. (Sounds nice.) But the intelligence great enough to save the world isn’t something we can either solve for or create in an algorithm. A.I. can’t save the world. We need “the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:16).

There’s a reason people often find Christianity unappealing. After all, belief in God is one thing.

(Most people do). But to believe that God died on the cross sounds kind of crazy. Even foolish.

Absurd. Which is why it’s tempting to want to make Christianity sound better. More triumph,

less cross. More winning, less sacrifice. But doing so runs the risk that our faith, while more

appealing and powerful, is powerless to change lives.

As Paul moves into the body of his letter, he turns to his first major concern for the church in Corinth: division. Sadly, church disagreements and divisions are neither new nor rare. Churches divide over all kinds of issues, big and small. The irony? We often justify our divisions in the name of the One who gave his life to unite us.

How did you finish 2025? Were you at the top of your game, or holding on by your fingernails? As the saying goes, it’s not how you start that’s important as much as how you finish. In the opening to his first letter to the church in Corinth, Paul reminds his readers (and us) that we have everything we need to finish strong (v. 8).

The lyrics to “Joy to the World,” were written by the English pastor and hymnwriter Isaac Watts in 1719,  inspired by Psalm 98. It’s a psalm of celebration, calling the whole world to rejoice in God’s coming reign and the restoration he brings. Of course, the psalm never mentions Jesus or his birth or incarnation. So, what does Psalm 98 have to do with Christmas? Everything.
