Spiritual Rewards
We all admire Olympic athletes for they make to achieve their goals. As committed and focused as they are for an earthly medal though, should not compare to the commitment, focus, sacrifice and dedication we display in striving for our spiritual rewards as disciples of Jesus Christ! This sermon is a reminder of that.

Keep in Step with the Spirit, Part 6
In 5:25, Paul issues a general exhortation to believers to keep in step with the Spirit. Then, in 5:26-6:10, he gives two evidences of what it looks like to keep in step with the Spirit. Specifically, Paul applies gentleness and goodness (fruit of the Spirit, vv. 22-23) and shows how they work out practically in the life of the church. These two evidences elaborate on what it looks like in daily life to love one’s neighbor (i.e., fulfill the law, 5:14). The first evidence is seen in how believers treat fellow believers who have become entrapped in sin. Paul exhorts believers to keep in step with the Spirit in order to restore sinning believers (5:26-6:5). The second evidence in which Paul reveals what it looks like to keep in step with the Spirit is seen in how believer use their money (6:6-10). Specifically, in 6:6-10, Paul exhorts believers to generously use their money in three areas. First, in v. 6, Paul exhorts believers to generously support those who teach the gospel. Second, Paul exhorts believers to generously sow to the Spirit rather than the flesh (vv. 7-9). Having begun with generosity toward teachers of the gospel, in v. 10 Paul expands the believer’s circle of responsibility to a third are where the Holy Spirit leads believers to express generosity in the use of their money. In v. 10, Paul exhorts believers give to all men but especially Christians.

Love One Another: Serve One Another
Jesus was the ultimate example of the servant, giving his life and setting the example for us on how to serve one another.
1 Corinthians 9:1-27 A Word About Pastors
Pastors are God's gifts to the church for their growth and edification. They are to serve the church well and be well taken care of by the church. The church and pastor should strive together for the rewards that lay before us when we meet Jesus face-to-face.
Everything matters
Everything in this life matters, why ? Paul tells us that one day we stand before God and our lives are put through the fire, things will be revealed for what they really are.
The Story of the Whiny Workers
The story of the whiny workers is not about fairness. It's not about rewards, either. In fact, it's not about us at all. It's about God and being grateful to Him for the rewards He gives us that we do not deserve.
