1 Corinthians - part 8

Stewards of the Mysteries of God

1 Corinthians - Chapter 4:1-7

Summary:
- Paul, a faithful steward and “galley slave” for the Lord.
- Stop judging any brother’s gifts and ministry, and stop exalting one personality over another.
- Be grateful, not boastful. “Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17

Applications:
1. What has God entrusted you with? Are you a faithful steward? (v.1,2)
2. Is your conscience clear? If not, what do you need to do about it? (v. 4)
3. What are you in judgment of “before the time” or without knowing and considering the motives in someone else’s heart? (v. 5)
4. What are you boasting about that was really the Lord’s doing? (v. 7)
