Run to Win

In 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, Pastor Eddie Eaton uses Paul’s athletic imagery to challenge believers to run the Christian life with purpose instead of confusing religious activity with spiritual progress. Spiritual victory requires sacrifice, self-denial, self-control, and the discipline to finish well. This message explains that discipline does not earn salvation; it trains believers for faithful, effective gospel ministry. When we surrender personal rights and preferences for the good of others, keep our appetites under Christ’s control, and align our walk with our words, we remove obstacles to the gospel and help others reach the finish line with us.
