1 Corinthians 9:19-25

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭36‬-‭38‬‬
When he saw the crowds, he felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭19‬-‭25‬‬
Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law — though I myself am not under the law  — to win those under the law. To those who are without the law, like one without the law — though I am not without God’s law but under the law of Christ — to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings. Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown.

INVITE
(v. 19-22)

INVEST
(v. 23)

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬‬
Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings.

INCREASE
(v. 23)

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬‬
Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings.

Invite everyone to invest everything to see the Kingdom of God increase everywhere.

Are You In?
(v. 24-25)

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭25‬‬
Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown.
