Let's Boast
What does it truly mean to boast? Not in the way the world boasts, but in the way that actually matters for eternity? This celebration of faith and community takes us deep into a question that cuts to the heart of why we gather, why we serve, and why we keep showing up year after year. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23-24, where God makes clear that wisdom, strength, and riches are not worthy of our glory, we are invited to examine what we are actually placing our confidence in. The ancient people of Judah looked impressive on the outside. Temple services continued. Sacrifices were offered. But beneath the surface, their trust was in their own resources rather than in a living God who desired to be known. The parallel to our own moment in history is striking. We live in a time of abundance, of religious activity, of visible ministry. And yet the question remains: are we glorying in what God has done, or in what we have built? The only boast worth making, as Paul affirms in 1 Corinthians 1:30-31, is in Christ himself, who became for us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. That single shift in perspective changes everything about how we understand our purpose, our community, and our future.
