Payday Some Day

In this sermon, the pastor Earl explores the theme of "Payday Someday," drawing from 1 Corinthians chapter 9. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the rights and responsibilities of both pastors and congregations regarding financial support. The Apostle Paul asserts his right to receive support as an apostle, yet he chooses to forgo it to avoid hindering the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:12). The sermon encourages the congregation to consider their role in supporting ministry through giving, prayer, and service, highlighting that faithful support leads to blessings for the church community (1 Corinthians 9:14).

The sermon also touches on the necessity of building relationships for effective evangelism, as Paul became all things to all people to win them for Christ (1 Corinthians 9:22). The sermon concludes with a call to action, urging everyone to run the race of faith with discipline and purpose, pressing toward the ultimate prize in Christ (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).
