For the Sake of the Gospel (1 Corinthians

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, we look at Paul’s example of living intentionally for the sake of the gospel. Most of us live full lives and have busy schedules. If we’re not careful, we can easily lose sight of our mission to share the gospel with unbelievers. Missional living requires focus, a sense of urgency, and sacrifice. Are we clear about what our gospel ministry is? Do we have distractions or other non-essentials in our lives that need to be eliminated for the sake of the gospel? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
