All Things to All People

Putting Others First

May 5, 2024 • Joel Owen • 1 Corinthians 8

What extent should we go to to love others? In this message from 1 Corinthians 8 Paul addresses how we put personal and religious freedoms and liberties aside to show love for a Christian brother or sister and not become a stumbling block to them.
