What does it really mean to be a faithful leader in God's church?

In this powerful message from 1 Corinthians 4:1-6, we dive deep into what biblical leadership actually looks like. Spoiler alert: it's not about being the captain of the ship or seeking approval from others.

Paul reveals that church leaders are called to be "under-rowers" - the lowest servants on the boat - whose only job is to faithfully bring God's treasures from His storehouse (the Word) to His people. No adding their own spin, no taking ingredients out, just pure faithfulness to what God has already provided.

Key takeaways:

* Why seeking human approval (or even self-approval) misses the point entirely

* How God will reveal everything hidden in darkness on judgment day

* Why taking sin seriously is actually an act of love for the church

* The difference between living as citizens of heaven vs. blending in with the culture around us

* How Christ became the ultimate faithful steward, paying our debt with His life

The challenge: If we want to change our communities, we can't live and act like our communities. We're called to be IN the world, but not OF the world.

This isn't your typical Sunday morning message - it's raw, real, and challenges us to live with eternal perspective in a culture that's obsessed with temporary approval.
