Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 4:1-7 | Preacher: Davis Lacey | Series: Sovereign Through the Shutdown | 1 Corinthians 4:1-7 teaches us the pathway to freedom from the “comparison trap:” look LESS to OTHERS, look LESS to SELF, and look MORE to JESUS.
Comparison to OTHERS
Small in SUBSTANCE (doesn’t fill)
Small in DURATION (doesn’t last)
Small in EFFECT (doesn’t satisfy)
Comparison to SELF
Small in SUBSTANCE (doesn’t fill)
Small in DURATION (doesn’t last)
Small in EFFECT (doesn’t satisfy)
But when we look to Jesus, we receive a verdict which is:
Comparison to OTHERS
LARGE in SUBSTANCE
LARGE in DURATION
LARGE in EFFECT
