1 Kings 18:16-40
- This is a story about wisdom
- Shame is shorthand for being exposed
- Worth and value are based on others
1 Corinthians 1:18-31
- Overvaluing human wisdom
- The cross stands as a sign of God's wisdom
- Wisdom without the cross is cheap
- God's wisdom says this is what wisdom looks like!
- Christ became shame to shame
- Nothing we have can be an advantage
- God's wisdom cannot be "achieved"
- The Gospel is an exemplification of God's character
- When we boast, something else is shamed
Reposition our life
- Re-evaluate success
- Redefine "somebody"
