Called to Be Holy, Called to Glorify | RIOT Podcast

About this Episode

Called to Be Holy, Called to Glorify is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.


What does it really mean to be ‘called to be holy’ when we still struggle with sin and weakness?

Last week, we began our journey through the book of 1 Corinthians with an overview of Paul’s powerful letter to a struggling church in Corinth. Today, we dive into chapter 1, where Paul begins laying the foundation for everything else he will address.

In this episode, we explore three powerful themes:
✨ Called to Be Holy (1–9) — Our identity in Christ shapes the way we live.
🤝 Called into Fellowship (10–25) — True unity comes when Christ, not personalities, is at the center.
🙌 Called to Glorify God (26–31) — God uses the weak and the lowly so that no one may boast, except in Him.

Paul reminds the church that holiness is not about perfection but about belonging to God. He calls believers away from division and pride, and back to the transforming power of the cross of Christ, which remains the heart of the gospel.

Whether you feel weak, overlooked, or uncertain in your faith, this passage is a reminder that God sustains, equips, and calls us—not because of who we are, but because of who He is.
