The M Word: My Body

How does viewing our physical bodies and desires through the lens of the gospel reshape the way we exercise self-control and live for Christ?In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 9:19–27, we look at Paul's athletic metaphor to understand how believers are called to steward their bodies and leverage their personal freedoms.
