1 Corinthians 1:26–31 (ESV)
26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;
28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Introduction:
Who does God use?
Not wise, not powerful, not well born.
God doesn’t primarily choose to use impressive people.
I believe our God detests the culture that creates Christian superstars!
Wealth, wisdom, and power are not the starting point for gospel ministry.
God doesn’t operate according to the norms of the world.
God chooses to uses insignificant people in significant ways.
Why does God operate this way?
or let me put it another way...
Why does God use who He uses?
1 Corinthians 1:29 (ESV)
29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
God uses unimpressive people so that we don’t become consumed with men.
God uses unimpressive people so that we become captivated by God.
1 Corinthians 1:30–31 (ESV)
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
The gospel gives us no room for chess thumping.
The gospel gives us no room for suspender popping.
Human pride was crucified on Golgotha and buried in a borrowed tomb.
