Chris Wall • I Corinthians 4:1-5

In a world where authority is often resisted and leadership is questioned; many have developed an allergy to being led. This isn’t new—it was alive in the Corinthian church, where pride and preference created division. But God’s answer isn’t the removal of leadership—it’s the installation of the right kind of leaders. In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul gives us a clear picture of what faithful, Christ-centered leadership looks like and then challenges the church to follow those leaders. As an elder-led, congregationally ruled church, our unity depends on recognizing, affirming, and imitating the right kind of leaders. When we recognize biblical leadership, we overcome the Authority allergy—and live out a gospel adventure that changes the world, starting right here where God planted us.
