Summary
In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul flips the script on everything we think we deserve. He proves he has rights, then willingly lays them down for the sake of the gospel. This is not weakness, it is strength under control. This is not loss, it is eternal gain.
In this teaching, we walk verse by verse through Paul's argument, his sacrifice, and his mindset. You will see why clinging to your rights can actually hinder the very mission you claim to serve, and how true freedom is found in surrender.

| 2:02.9 | We can justify anything in our mind, right? And sometimes, like even when I'm dealing with these verses of |
| 2:09.5 | scripture that we've been talking through, sometimes I say, well, maybe I should skip that |
| 2:12.8 | chapter because it's not relevant to what's going on in our world today, 21st century Americans. |
| 2:21.8 | And yesterday was one of those chapters in 1 Corinthians 8, talking about meat sacrifice to idols |
| 2:27.2 | and Paul saying, I'm not going to do anything that makes my brother or sister stumble. |
