What if the greatest expression of your freedom in Christ isn't exercising your rights, but willingly laying them down for the sake of someone else? This week, Pastor Ed preaches through 1 Corinthians 9:1–18 in his message, "Freedoms and the Gospel." When we think about Paul's story and the faith of believers like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we realize why the gospel matters more than any privilege or security we might give up for it.

Join us as we discover what it means to live set apart, lay aside unnecessary obstacles to the gospel, and adopt the servant heart of Jesus in our daily lives.

ASL interpretation available at our 8:30 service.

Shoreline Kids and Youth have Sunday school at 10:30 am.

Discussion Questions:

1. Paul was willing to surrender legitimate rights and privileges so that nothing would hinder the gospel. What are some rights, freedoms, or privileges that we tend to hold tightly? Why can it be difficult to lay them down for the sake of others?
2. We are set apart to live like Jesus, who humbled himself and gave himself for us. What might it look like to live set apart in your workplace, friendships, or relationships this week? Where might following Jesus require you to choose faithfulness over fitting in?
3. Paul was compelled to preach the gospel. How would you share the gospel of Jesus Christ if you had 30 seconds, three minutes, or 10 minutes?
