All things to all men (1 Corinthians 9:19 to 27)
All things to all men
Paul was willing to give up his rights for the sake of the gospel. What do you need to become for the sake of telling people about Jesus?
- The slave.
- Consciously serve for the sake of the gospel.
- The chameleon.
- Adapting with purpose to get alongside people to win as many as possible for the sake of the gospel.
- The athlete.
- Self-discipline and purpose for the sake of the gospel.
