Bible Text:1 Corinthians 9:16-27

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Today’s text is insightful. Paul the apostle is comparing Christian’s race to that of the athletes.

Athletic is one of the numerous sporting events perform by sportsmen and women. Who is an athlete? A participant in a group of sporting activities which includes, track and field, road running, cross country running and race-walking. The Bible says this set of people keep themselves within the rule just to receive worldly crowns. Evangelism is seriously

needed in this field for Christ.
