Who Do You Think You Are? | 1 Corinthians 4:1-13

October 25th, 2026

Pastor Chad McDonald

There is no room for pride or arrogance in the body of Christ. All that we have in Christ we did not earn; we received. This is the heart of our passage for this week. 1 Corinthians 4:7 says, “For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive?” The implied answer is obvious: nothing! All that we have in Christ, we received. By grace through faith in Christ, we stand accepted before God. We received the righteousness of God through faith in Christ, who died a death we could never die, to give us a salvation we did not want, through a faith we did not have. It is all received as a gift of God’s abundant grace. It should result in an incredible security and a beautiful humility that permeates every aspect of God’s people. God’s grace secures us, compels us to worship and brings us to a place of humility with regard to one another. All of us are on the same level. We are all empty sinners who came to the Father for mercy. All that human stuff that divides us and causes us to boast, we check it at the door. We may encounter these attitudes in the world, but not in the church.I pray that you will make plans to join us this weekend for corporate worship. Corporate worship is a sacred moment where God is uniquely present among His people. Our gathering is not a routine or an informational lecture, but rather a sacred assembly where God reorients our hearts away from earthly distractions toward an eternal reality. Ask God to prepare your heart today for worship with His people. Bring a friend. Invite a neighbor and join us for worship.
