All Things to All People: The Mission Over Preference

June 15, 2025

Series: A Unique Unity

This message, drawn from 1 Corinthians 9:19–23, explores how the Apostle Paul surrendered his personal preferences to fully embrace the mission of the gospel. Paul became “all things to all people” not to appease everyone, but to win as many as possible to Christ. The sermon calls the church to follow this same example—prioritizing unity and gospel witness above personal preferences, cultural expectations, or even political identities.

The call is clear: preferences are secondary. Whether it’s worship style or political leanings, the gospel mission must take precedence. By doing so, the church lives out a powerful, Spirit-empowered unity that reflects Christ’s humility and advances His kingdom.
