Summary: Being empowered and endorsed by Christ. Even when we as believers are called to authority, we are still His servants.

“High-Powered Endorsement”

1 Corinthians 16:15-18

1. Endorsed their devotion to encouragement and service (v.15-17)

Application:

We should not be hung up on recognition when we choose to serve.

As Christians, we are all called to serve; we don’t have to be on the “leader list”.

No job is “beneath” any Christian, and no Christian should ever stop serving.

2. Endorsed their authority (v.16 )

Application:

Those that God places in authority are servants.

Rebellion is displayed in the life of a Christian when they refuse to submit to authority.

In order to be a leader, you must first be a servant
