Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
"Although I am a free man and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law. To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some."
From the Sermon:
"Paul's conversations were not just eloquent, but filled with grace and understanding. He became all things to all people, showing that grace should be the guiding force in our interactions."
