1. Defining Success 1 Corinthians 4:1-7

2. What Areas of life Has God Trusted You With?

3. How do you respond when
you fail in the eyes of others?

4. What is God’s Definition of Success?

5. Paul Bad Speaker Lacked Charisma
Apollos – Eloquent, Talented

6. This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. 

7. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent
 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. 6

8. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

9.  Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.

10. We start by defining Success as the ability to stay Faithful
How do you respond when
you fail in the eyes of others?

11. What did He Trust Me with? What did He ask Me to Do? Am I Doing it?
Have I been Faithful?
What did He Trust Me with?
What did He ask Me to Do?
Am I Doing it?
How do you respond when
you fail in the eyes of others?

12. Faithfulness Requires us to ask three Questions
Whose in Charge? Vs 1
Am I comparing? Vs 3
Am I staying Humble vs 4-7
