Freedom vs Responsibility 

Anna Lee- June 7, 2026 

Just because we CAN doesn’t mean we SHOULD 

Question: Is it okay to eat food that has been sacrificed to idols? 

1 Corinthians 8:1-13 NRSVUE

Love God and Love Others

Freedom vs Responsibility

“All things are permitted,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are permitted,” but not all things build up. Do not seek your own advantage but that of the other.

1 Corinthians 10:23-24 NRSVUE

How do my decisions impact the people around me? 

For some people, the only scripture they have read is you. 

What we DO communicates more about our beliefs than what we SAY. 

If someone watched your life on mute, would they know you were a Christian? 

So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God… 

1 Corinthians 10: 31-32 NRSVUE
