The Right to Support and the Call to Sacrifice | The Clarity of Christ for a Confused Church | 1 Corinthians - Week 17 | Nik Sloan Co-Lead Pastor
Our rights may be legitimate, but love asks a greater question: How will exercising this freedom affect others? Teaching from 1 Corinthians 9:1–18, Pastor Nik Sloan examines Paul’s willingness to surrender his apostolic rights rather than place an obstacle in the way of the gospel. Paul’s sacrifice ultimately points to Jesus, who laid down His rights—and His life—to secure forgiveness, adoption, access to God, and eternal hope for His people. This message calls us to cling confidently to what Christ has secured while holding our earthly rights with open hands.
