“Run Like You Want to Win” – a message from 1 Corinthians 9 by Will Branch

This past weekend at Eastbrook, we continued our preaching series entitled “God’s Grace for an Imperfect Church: 1 Corinthians.” In this message, Will Branch explores Paul’s comparison of the life of discipleship to running a race from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.

You can find the message outline and video below. You can access the entire series here. Join us for weekend worship in-person or remotely via Eastbrook at Home.
