    All Things to All People to Save Some | 1 Cor. 9:19-23
    Jul 2 2025
    Discover the heart of true evangelism through Paul's powerful example in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. Paul demonstrates what it means to prioritize the gospel over personal comfort by becoming 'all things to all people.' Though free in Christ, Paul willingly made himself a servant to all to win more people to faith. This freedom in Christ isn't about self-indulgence but about loving others sacrificially. Learn how Paul adapted his approach for different audiences without compromising biblical truth - observing Jewish customs with Jews, not imposing these on Gentiles, and accommodating those with weaker consciences. Unlike other religions that require cultural conformity, Christianity can be contextualized across all cultures while maintaining its core truths. Paul's motivation was clear: the eternal salvation of souls and the glory of Christ. Explore practical ways to apply Paul's example in your own life by examining your priorities, considering your motivations, adapting your approach to reach different people, and taking specific action to share the gospel.

  • Refused Rights | 1 Cor. 9:1-18

    Refused Rights | 1 Cor. 9:1-18
    Jun 19 2025
    Discover the powerful balance between Christian freedom and sacrificial love in this exploration of 1 Corinthians 9:1-18. The Apostle Paul provides a compelling example of gospel-centered ministry by willingly surrendering his legitimate rights for the sake of others. Though he had every right to receive financial support as an apostle—proven through practical examples, Old Testament law, and Jesus's own teachings—Paul chose sacrifice over entitlement. This message unpacks how Paul's example mirrors Christ's sacrifice on the cross and challenges modern believers to reconsider their approach to Christian liberty. Learn the timeless principles behind Old Testament laws and how they apply today. Understand why true spiritual maturity isn't measured by exercising freedoms but by what we're willing to give up out of love. This teaching offers practical applications for identifying rights we might surrender to advance the gospel and love others more effectively. Perfect for Christians struggling with balancing personal freedom and responsibility to others, church leaders seeking biblical models of ministry, and anyone wanting to understand how sacrifice deepens our experience of Christ.

  • Love Over Liberty | 1 Cor. 8: 7-13

    Love Over Liberty | 1 Cor. 8: 7-13
    Jun 12 2025
    Understanding Christian Liberty: When Freedom Meets Love explores the delicate balance between our freedom in Christ and our responsibility to others. Based on 1 Corinthians 8, this message unpacks what Christian liberty truly means - the freedom to engage in activities not explicitly forbidden in Scripture. However, this freedom must always be interpreted through the lens of love. Knowledge without love can become harmful, especially when it causes fellow believers with weaker faith to stumble. Paul identifies two key dangers: pressuring others to violate their conscience and creating misunderstandings that lead to sin. The message provides practical examples like alcohol consumption around teetotalers or recovering alcoholics to illustrate these principles. When we cause others to stumble, we're not just sinning against them but against Christ himself. This teaching challenges our culture's individualistic approach to freedom, reminding us that Christianity calls us to reflect Christ's sacrificial love. The message concludes with practical application questions to help believers examine how they're using their liberty and encourages them to hold their freedoms with an open hand, ready to set them aside for others' spiritual wellbeing.
