    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 24, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,026 views

    In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul defends his rights, gives up his rights, and shows how he lives without his rights. In doing so he becomes a great example for us in our dealings with the church and the world.

    Paul was direct and focused on what he had to do; he was a messenger of Christ, not of himself or anyone else and he knew it.

    16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 18 What is my reward then? ...read more

     | 7,002 views

    Paul is talking about the way some people questioned the way himself and other men of God were being paid by the Church. Questioning about administration is something natural.

    1 Corinthians 9:1-9 1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 Do ...read more

    Exposition of 1 Corinthians 9 regarding Paul did all things to the glory of Christ, but he explains that the reason that he gives up rights and lives the way that he does is “that he might win some.”

    Paul KNEW he was rightfully THE called Apostle of Christ to the Gentiles. However, Paul did not stand on HIS rights but deferred to God's calling in his life! We must not focus on what we believe is our RIGHT, but we must DO what is right in God's plan.

    A servant is always ready to serve, even when wages are not coming in, he looks up to his Master, hoping for the best, knowing that many have been paid before him and even after him so he will surely receive his wages so he will always serve

    This is no time for any man of God or serious Christian to be shy, hesitant, compromising, or half-hearted in our commission from the Lord Jesus Christ to go out into the world and preach His gospel. Today is the day to be bold for the kingdom of God.

    Fellow preachers and servants in Christ, I must admit that it seems as if we are proclaiming the truth of the Gospel to stone walls these days. I have never seen such indifference and apathy in people concerning the state of their souls as I do now. We see and hear of so-called ...read more

    1) What does Bible say about universalism? 2) Because of what Bible says, how is church to conduct herself? (Material adapted from David Faust in his book, "Growing Churches, Growing Leaders", chapter called Children of a Graceful God, pgs. 108-113)

    HoHum: David Faust asks, What do you get when you cross a Jehovah’s Witness with a universalist? A knock on the door for no apparent reason. Universalism is a widely accepted philosophy. Universalism says that no matter what everyone will eventually be saved. Today people say things like, “Oh ...read more

    Some people have turned ministry into a cash cow. Some people have just fleeced the sheep. Some people have completely overcompensated themselves, and they have found a great way to work the system.
