RUNNING TO WIN | 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 | A Sermon by Pastor Chris Fisher

🌟 Welcome to Calvary Chapel Albany! 🌟

In this powerful message, we're challenged to view our entire lives through the lens of glorifying God. The central theme revolves around 1 Corinthians 9, where Paul uses the metaphor of an athlete to describe our spiritual journey. Just as athletes discipline themselves for a perishable crown, we're called to discipline ourselves for an imperishable one. This isn't about earning salvation, but about running our unique race with purpose and dedication. We're reminded that every aspect of our lives - work, leisure, relationships - can be an opportunity to glorify God and impact others. The message urges us to break down the artificial divide between 'spiritual' and 'non-spiritual' activities, recognizing that God is always at work in all things. As we run this race, we're encouraged to develop spiritual disciplines, deny ourselves, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. This perspective shift can transform our daily lives, infusing even mundane tasks with eternal significance.
