1 Corinthians 9:1-18 From Paul’s life we see an example of not only a strong Biblical position about why ministers of the gospel can be supported by their local church but an even stronger picture of gospel priority that leads Paul, and us, to say no to our rights and freedoms (good things) in order to say yes to greater things (the free proclamation and spread of the gospel). How can we follow Paul’s example and life out the reality of Christ in us calling us to prioritize the gospel in all of life?
