The Criteria & Consequences of God's Call
Sunday, 26 April, 2026
The sermon centers on the divine criteria and transformative consequences of God's call, emphasizing that God intentionally chooses the foolish, weak, and despised to confound worldly wisdom and power, ensuring that no human flesh may boast. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1, it contrasts the world's pursuit of signs and intellectualism with the gospel's paradoxical wisdom—Christ crucified, which appears foolish to the Greeks and a stumbling block to the Jews, yet is the power and wisdom of God for the called. The message underscores that true spiritual maturity involves surrendering self-reliance, embracing weakness, and allowing God to dismantle human pride so that His glory alone is magnified. The threefold consequence of responding to God's call is the destruction of human boasting, the revelation of divine glory, and the transformation of believers into vessels through whom God's power is made evident, not through human achievement, but through humble dependence on Christ.
