Are Boundaries Keeping You From God?

Series: The New American Idols

In this sermon, Pastor Allie unpacks into 1 Corinthians 8-10, exploring how Christians navigate the tension between personal freedom and love for others. Using the Corinthian church's questions about eating meat sacrificed to idols, she highlights Paul’s guidance: while Christians have freedom in Christ, that freedom should be exercised with love and care for others, avoiding actions that could harm their conscience. Pastor Allie draws parallels between the Corinthians’ idolization of freedom and modern society’s tendency to prioritize personal rights over communal well-being. She challenges listeners to bring moral questions into their communities and let love (agape) guide their actions, fostering stronger faith and connection with others.
