What Are You Running For? Finding Purpose in Sacrifice - 1 Corinthians 9


Listen Later

What are you really running for? In this compelling message from Week 9 of our *Highs & Lows* series, Brian Koning unpacks the wisdom of 1 Corinthians 9 and challenges us to reframe our lives around the gospel. In a culture obsessed with rights and comfort, Paul calls us to self-sacrifice, joy-filled obedience, and intentional living. Are we running aimlessly, or are we training with purpose for something eternal?

This sermon answers real questions:
- What motivates your daily decisions?
- Are you clinging to comfort or embracing the challenge of the gospel?
- How do we love those outside our comfort zones?
- Can our lives reflect Christ without compromise?
