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"
