Title: Free in Christ
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
Purpose Statement: Paul moves through his own example as the right way to utilize Christian freedom. Paul emphasizes the rewards. He boasts in the Lord. Paul claims his freedom, in order to win people to Jesus and that he belongs to no one but Christ. He is a slave to none but Christ. He gives up his freedom. He addresses the Jews, those under the law, those not having the law, and the weak. These groups have different cultural norms of what is acceptable. How does Paul win people to Christ?
