Loving God and Others by Making Disciples who Make Disciples

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

In today’s culture, we often hear phrases like “It’s my life, my choice,” and “You do you.” But is that what true freedom looks like? In 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, Paul addresses a similar mindset in the Corinthian church, challenging the belief that personal freedom means indulging every desire. Instead, he reveals that real freedom comes with responsibility—and ultimately with a purpose that honors God. Join us this week as we explore how our bodies, minds, and spirits are meant for more than self-gratification. We’ll discover that Christ calls us to a higher freedom—one that resists the chains of sin, serves others, and glorifies God. Through this message, we’ll unpack how to reject the illusions of worldly freedom and find the lasting liberty and joy that only come through surrender to Christ. Key Points:

  • Freedom in Christ requires discernment and self-control.
  • Earthly “freedoms” can often lead to bondage.
  • True freedom in Christ serves God and others, rather than enslaving us to sin.
  • Our bodies belong to God and carry eternal significance.
  • Submission to Christ is the only path to genuine, lasting freedom.
