1 Corinthians: We need to deny ourselves (Chapter 9:1-16)

On this Remembrance Sunday we are encouraged to deny ourselves, just as many soldiers and civilians did in previous generations.It’s a profound challenge to deny ourselves as we consider our walk with God. What does it mean to be a Disciple of Jesus (Luke 14:25-27)? Paul created a new norm in Corinth. How can I move in the opposite spirit in the context in which I live? There are many things we could do in practical ways to help and encourage others – our neighbours, work colleagues, family and friends. We don’t need to make a lot of noise in our Christian walk – showing kindness and God’s love is powerful. Am I a disciple of Jesus in both word and action?
