4.6.2025 "So as NOT To Use My Rights" (1 Corinthians 9:1-18)

In this powerful and challenging message, we journey with the Apostle Paul as he lays down not only his liberties, but even his rights—for the sake of love, the gospel, and the Kingdom community.Through 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor explores how Paul, though fully entitled to certain rights as an apostle, chose not to exercise them so that nothing would hinder the gospel of Christ. This echoes the very heart of Jesus, who laid down divine rights out of love for us. The question is brought home: *Where are we being called to do the same?*✨ *Key Takeaways** ✅ Love builds the Church—knowledge alone is not enough * ✨ True kingdom love is sacrificial, laying down liberties and rights for others * 🙌 Paul’s example challenges us to live selflessly, without entitlement * 🛑 Sometimes the most Christ-like action is to refrain, even when we are “in the right” * 💖 The gospel moves forward when our love outweighs our demandsThis sermon calls each of us to examine our hearts and relationships—at home, in work, in ministry—and ask: *Where is God calling me to lay down what I deserve, to build up His Church instead?*🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.
