What Paul Thinks of Your 'Rights' (1 Corinthians 9)

Reaching Our Metropolis – Episode 13Grace Hill Church, Morgan Hill, CAPastor Tyler Allred | grace-hill.orgIn 1 Corinthians 9, Paul explains why he willingly gave up his right to financial support in Corinth—not because ministry isn’t worth supporting, but because the gospel must never be distorted by cultural expectations or power dynamics.This sermon shows how chapters 8–10 form a unified argument about Christian freedom, love, and witness. Paul challenges believers to stop asking, “What are my rights?” and instead ask, “Who is God calling me to love?” Using metaphors of athletes, missionaries, and self-discipline, this message calls Christians to live with intentionality, purpose, and sacrificial love.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9Series: Reaching Our Metropolis📺 Watch the video sermon:https://www.youtube.com/@MHGraceHillMore at grace-hill.org
