Amen Podcast

Holy Standards


Listen Later

In this powerful message, Pastor Alex explores what it means to live by God's holy standards versus man's standards. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 4:9-13 and the story of David's anointing in 1 Samuel 16, we discover why Christians are called to embrace "last place" in a world that prizes first place.

Key Topics Covered:

* Understanding the difference between holy standards and human standards

* Why the apostles described themselves as being "displayed in last place"

* The story of David's selection as king and what it teaches us about God's perspective

* How to respond to persecution, criticism, and being dishonored for following Christ

* The danger of judging leaders and others by external appearances

* Living with the knowledge that "earth honors what heaven hates"

* The power of communion and covenant community

Scripture References:

* 1 Corinthians 4:9-13

* 1 Samuel 16:1-13

* 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

* Psalm 5:5

This message challenges believers to examine whether they are living by God's standards or trying to meet the world's expectations. Pastor Alex reminds us that following the crucified Messiah means embracing the same humility and servant-heartedness that Jesus demonstrated.
