Day 1

When we consider all that Christ has done for us, it is overwhelmingly incredible. Jesus told us in John 8:31–32, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” We have been set free from the bondage to sin that we were once in. We have also been set free f...

God used Paul to share the gospel message with various groups of people. Over the next few days, we’ll examine the different groups of people to whom Paul took the opportunity to share the gospel. We read in 1 Corinthians 9:20, “To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though no...

The next group of people Paul shared the gospel of Christ with were the Gentiles. We read in 1 Corinthians 9:21, “to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.” Paul knew that the Gentiles did not seek favor from God by followin...

God had Paul mention one more group of people that he sought to share the gospel of Christ with. God had Paul record this in 1 Corinthians 9:22, “To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.” It’s interesting that Paul refers to a particular group of people as...

God used Paul to share the hope of Christ with everyone who came across his path. Paul was simply willing to be used by the Lord in every opportunity that God opened up to him. We read in 1 Corinthians 9:22–23, “…I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some. 23 I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I...

Living a disciplined life is a major part of our walk with our Lord Jesus Christ. We read in 1 Corinthians 9:24–25, “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a...

God had Paul finish with this in 1 Corinthians 9:26–27: “Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.” God had Paul proclaim that he did not run his spiritual life wi...
