Saints leading saints as saints
The people of Corinth were forgetting that they were saints by calling because of the cross of Jesus and the power of the Spirit opening their eyes to the foolish preaching of the cross. This was evident in the fact that they were dividing over men. We tend to do this too. If we are elders in the church, we deceive ourselves with our arrogance to think we are wiser than we are. We are sometimes deceived into boasting in men, especially when those men boast in themselves. But you are already rich in Jesus, by the cross and Spirit, it would be foolish to settle for boasting in man.

Saints leading saints by serving
We are saints by calling on the way to heaven, by faith in the cross and the power Spirit. We go together, there no such thing as alone in Christianity, alone is foolishness. Together, therefore organization is necessary and there are parts to play so that the organization of the church matches the mission and the message. There are leaders in the church of equals. Real leaders and really equal because we have a common identity and a common mission. Your leaders are saints leading saints by serving.
