All Things Are Yours // 1 Cor. 3:18-23

In this message from 1 Corinthians 3:18–23, Pastor Evan Bialk teaches that true wisdom begins with humility, not self-confidence. The Corinthian church had divided around personalities and human cleverness, but Paul reminds them that God’s wisdom often looks like foolishness to the world. Real maturity is not about pride or power but about surrendering to the wisdom of the cross.

This passage ends with a powerful truth: all things are ours in Christ. Every faithful leader, every circumstance, and every season of life belongs to those who belong to Him. The pastor does not own the church, and the church does not own the pastor, both belong to Christ. When we rest in that reality, competition fades, unity deepens, and the church becomes a place of peace and grace under the lordship of Jesus.
