1 Corinthians 9-10

• the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel. (9:14)
• Sharing the gospel is not something to boast about, it is our duty as a christian to share: For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! (v16)
• We are challenged by Paul that while we are free, we should serve others to bring people to Christ (v19)

• All our spiritual needs are taken care of through the rock: Christ Jesus (10:4)
• V11 teaches us that we are to learn from the examples from the old testament (v8-10) in what we should or should not do
• There is always a way out of temptation because God is faithful (v13)

"All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

-- 1 Corinthians 10:23-24

• So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.(v31)
