What Kind of Church - Resourceful Church

1 Corinthians 9:19–23 KJV (WS)

19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

Introduction

Paul had a servant’s heart when it came to reaching people with the Gospel.

A servant doesn’t give orders, he takes them.

A servant doesn’t set the plan, he works the plan.

Paul used his background to connect with people.

Paul empathized with people.

He did all of this for the Gospel’s sake.

Application

We have the resources to reach our community.

The broad base of membership that we enjoy at CBT, should mean that there isn’t anyone that is out of reach for our ministry.
