-31I. Embrace the demotion1 Corinthians 1:26-27Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. II. Kill your pride 1 Corinthians 1:28-29God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence.III.    Make Jesus famous1 Corinthians 1:30-31It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption —in order that, as it is written: Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.Next Steps:  Believe: I need Jesus to give me new life today.  Become: I need the Holy Spirit to help kill my pride this week. Be Sent: I will put Christ’s strength on display this weekDiscussion Questions:  How would you respond to someone who claims that faith is a crutch for weak people?  How often did you reflect on yourself compared to thinking about God yesterday? Provide a ratio.  In which areas of your life are you most likely to take pride?  How can you surrender that area of your life to Christ?  Does boasting in Christ mean you cannot feel good about your successes?  When did you have the opportunity to make Christ famous last week? How did it go? Pray for the Holy Spirit to teach us humility this week.
