God Works Through the Small and Humble

Today’s readings remind us that God does not look at importance the way the world does. He works through the humble, the ordinary, and those who trust Him.

Turn Away From Sin and Keep Your Heart Open to God

 

Turn Away From Sin and Keep Your Heart Open to God

1 Corinthians 5:1–8 — Do Not Become Comfortable With Sin

Paul warns the Christian community about sexual immorality and the danger of allowing serious sin to continue without repentance.

 

Speak the Truth With Love

God calls us not only to love one another but also to help one another stay on the right path. These readings remind us that correction should always come from love, not judgment or gossip.

 

Everything We Have Comes From God

1 Corinthians 4:6–15

Everything we have comes from God—our talents, blessings, opportunities, and even our faith. There is no reason for us to think we are more important than others or to boast about what we have.

 

Let Jesus Make Us New

Sometimes we are quick to look at other people and judge what they are doing. But Scripture reminds us that God sees what we cannot see — the heart.

 

Trust God’s Wisdom and Follow His Call

God’s Wisdom Is Greater Than Ours

1 Corinthians 3:18–23

We belong to Christ. We should never become proud and think that we know everything.

The wisdom of the world is very different from the wisdom of God. Sometimes, what God teaches may look foolish according to worldly standards, but God knows far more than we ever can.

We should remain humble and allow Jesus Christ to guide our thoughts and decisions. Everything we have comes from God, so our glory should always be in Him and not in ourselves.

 

Plant the Seed and Let God Give the Growth

We Are Still Growing in Faith
