It’s NOT about YOU…!

It’s NOT about YOU…! *God is love 1 John 4:16 *freely received 1 John 3:1 *freely give Matthew 10:8

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8-10 *God is love 1 John 4:16 *freely received 1 John 3:1 *freely give Matthew 10:8

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols:

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols: “Most of the meat sold in shops had first been offered to idols. Some Christians maintained that ‘idols were nothing’. They were free to eat meat and attend dinners. But others were worried. Freedom is right, says Paul, but no one should exercise freedom at the expense of another person’s conscience”

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” [5] For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— [6] yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols: 1 Corinthians 8:8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols: 1 Corinthians 8:8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 1 Corinthians 8:9 But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols: 1 Corinthians 8:10-13 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? [11] And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. [12] Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. [13] Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols: ‘that’s their problem not mine’ ‘they should just grow up in their faith’ ‘they’re just being silly because it’s not that hard to let go’

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols: ‘that’s their problem not mine’ ‘they should just grow up in their faith’ ‘they’re just being silly because it’s not that hard to let go’ Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.  

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 8 DEBATE #1 the issue of food offered to idols:   Restrained Physically = Galatians 4:4 Restrained Morally

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights:  

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:3 This is my defence to those who would examine me.  

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:3 This is my defence to those who would examine me.  

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:3 This is my defence to those who would examine me.   1 Corinthians 9:7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense?

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:3 This is my defence to those who would examine me.   1 Corinthians 9:7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating of its fruit?

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:3 This is my defence to those who would examine me.   1 Corinthians 9:7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating of its fruit? Or who tends to a flock without getting some of the milk?

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:13 Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: 1 Corinthians 9:12a If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right…

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 …though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. [20] To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. [21] To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. [22] To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. [23] I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 9 DEBATE #2 the issue of surrendering rights: Matthew 13:45-46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, [46] who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness:

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness: 1 Corinthians 10:1-6 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, [2] and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, [3] and all ate the same spiritual food, [4] and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. [5] Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. [6] Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction…

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness: 1 Corinthians 10:7-11 Do not be idolaters as some of them were (v.7) We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did (v.8) Must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed (v.9) Nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed (v.10)

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness: 1 Corinthians 10:24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbour.  

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness: 1 Corinthians 10:24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbour. 1 Corinthians 10:27-29  [27] If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. [28] But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience— [29] I do not mean your conscience, but his...  

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness: 1 Corinthians 10:31-33 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. [32] Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, [33] just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

It’s NOT about YOU…! 1 Corinthians 10 DEBATE #3 the issue of our weakness: “Christians must choose between the Lord and idols (empty in themselves, but behind them, real demonic powers). There can be no compromise. It is playing with fire to have any part in pagan sacrifices. As far as meat is concerned, the rule is unselfish concern FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS

It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
