Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles In this powerful sermon, Pastor Lucas Miles explores the deep themes of authority, freedom, and sacrifice in ministry through the lens of 1 Corinthians 9. The message unpacks the apostle Paul’s defense of his authority, his rights as a minister, and why he willingly chose not to exercise those rights. In a Corinthian culture marked by division and spiritual confusion, Paul sets a model of disciplined leadership and humility that the modern church still desperately needs.Whether you're in full-time ministry, leadership, or simply seeking to grow in your faith, this teaching challenges listeners to count the cost, lay down personal rights when necessary, and run the race with eternity in view.02:32 Paul's Authority and Apostleship03:19 Challenges in the Corinthian Church06:45 Mixed Seed Christianity09:19 Paul's Apostolic Rights and Sacrifices11:46 The Role of Apostles and Modern Implications14:45 Paul's Defense and Justification17:46 Rights of Ministers and Personal Sacrifices27:39 The Right to Compensation for Ministers28:25 Personal Experiences in Ministry30:04 Balancing Rights and Responsibilities32:23 Paul's Example of Sacrifice37:15 Criticism and Defense of Church Practices48:20 Running the Race for an Eternal Prize53:28 Concluding Thoughts and Communion🙏 Need prayer?
