Sermon Excerpt From “Freedom and Love” drawn from 1 Corinthians 10:23-33: Is what you're doing with your freedom allowing people and moving people and helping other people see Jesus and his sufficiency more clearly? Or are they tripping over you and the way in which you're using your freedom, and therefore they can't see, come to know in a deeper way Jesus Christ. And so Paul says, keep those two things in mind.
