people come to know Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul explains how he was

willing to adjust his preferences, build common ground with people, and live

with intentional discipline so that others could hear the gospel and live a life

that glorifies God.

This passage challenges us to consider how our own lives reflect that same

mission. If people matter to God, then the way we live, love, and interact with

others matters too. Take some time to discuss/contemplate three key lessons

from Paul about why pursuing God’s glory and people’s salvation is “worth it

for the one.”
