Can our small choices really honor God?

from Toongabbie Baptist Church · host Toongabbie Baptist Church

"We're always part of something bigger, which means that every action, every reaction, is part of a constant narrative that's being played out. And that our life is a signpost, indicating that every action points to something or somewhere. The only question is, where are we pointing people to? Are we pointing them to self-interest, to bitterness, to fear, to pride? Or are we pointing them towards Jesus?" We are challenged to consider how our lives are pointing to something greater. Our lives are a sermon; they might be the only Bible someone ever reads, and they may shape someone if they trust Christ more or less. So, we are challenged to sacrifice and be willing to die to ourselves for others' salvation. And we do so out of joy, because Christ perfectly represented us to the Father, so we represent him before the world as a joyful child who knows they're already loved. 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1 (23) “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. (24) No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. (25) Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, (26) for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” (27) If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. (28) But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. (29) I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? (30) If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for? (31) So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (32) Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— (33) even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. (11:1) Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
