When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him. en-us episodic We at GRINDIT want to encourage people to keep going, to keep grinding, when life gets hard. Quitting is not an option!

To be seen? To be heard? Not Paul! 45:14 no Paul has been dealing with division in the church at Corinth since chapter 1. That means he uses for chapters to confront this issue which means it very important. The division was coming from the people looking at Paul, Apollos, Peter, and others as THE most important person because they are the one who converted them to Jesus. Paul has told them, “We are nothing but simply the ones who plant and water so look to the one who DOES matter, Jesus.” In chapter 4 Paul says, “We are simply ministers who steward the mysteries of God.” When you look at this in the Greek, Paul uses a word that means “under rowers” referring to the ones who are below the deck rowing these big ships he travels on. They are unseen, not heard, and row to their captains command. Let that sink in...that totally goes against our 2026 culture! row, rower, rowing, servant, steward, ship, galley, oar, oarsman, Titanic, iceberg, humility, pride Paul has been dealing with division in the church at Corinth since chapter 1.

Jesus takes this opportunity to teach them about humility and being a servant. He takes a small child and puts the child on his lap and tells his disciples, be like this child and serve others. It's so easy to turn inward and be selfish, to gratify and satisfy the flesh, which is sin. Jesus takes that same child to show the dangers of our sin and causing others to sin. Then he tells them to be salt and add some flavor in the world. salt, salty, flavor, humility, servant, serve, humble, least, great Jesus told the disciples he was going to be betrayed, die, and come back to life but the disciples were more concerned with who is the greatest among them.

This gives him an opportunity to tell them some parables pointing out their hypocrisy and in Matthew 22 he rips them by telling them a parable of a wedding feast. The king sends out invitations that keeps getting rejected and the people who were invited eventually kill the king’s servants. He sends in an army and destroys the place, then he sends more servants to invite anybody to the feast and one person shows up without the correct attire. It didn’t turn out well for him and neither will it for these religious leaders, if they don’t repent of their sins and accept Jesus! ousted, kicked out, gone, bye, wedding, garment, feast, king, servant, attire Jesus is sparring with the religious leaders once again as he has entered Jerusalem and cleansed the Temple.
