    In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine.

Doesn’t it seem peculiar, ...read more

    WILLING TO SACRIFICE 1 CORINTHIANS9:1-15 INTRODUCTION: In this chapter, Paul makes some statements concerning his apostleship. He takes the time to describe his rights as an apostle and minister, and also his sacrifice as that same apostle and minister. In essence, Paul embraces his rights, and ...read more
