A word of Welcome<br />
It is such a wonderful moment that we are<br />
here again after a break of 2 years. It has<br />
been such a difficult time Since the last<br />
<strong>Gospel</strong> <strong>Music</strong> <strong>Rally</strong> (<strong>GMR</strong>); memories of<br />
Covid-19 are very fresh with us. We share<br />
in the grief of all those who lost dear ones<br />
and we thank God for those who survived<br />
(those actually got Covid and were healed<br />
and those who did not get infected).<br />
The one clear message we get from the<br />
pandemic is that God is still in control.<br />
equally thankful for the team of the other<br />
Cathedral Staff.<br />
The theme for today’s <strong>GMR</strong> is, Living for<br />
God's Glory based on St. Paul’s first letter<br />
1 Corinthians 10:31.<br />
We welcome all of you for honoring our<br />
invitation.<br />
We welcome the team of Cathedral clergy.<br />
All of them, except Reverend Samuel<br />
Muwonge, are attending <strong>GMR</strong> for the first<br />
time. They were posted here after the last<br />
<strong>GMR</strong> but before this one. We salute our<br />
Dean, The Very Reverend Canon Jonathan<br />
Kisawuzi Salongo, our Vicar, Reverend<br />
Abraham Muyinda, Assistant Vicar,<br />
Reverend Joseph Luvumu, Reverend Kezia<br />
Nakkazi, Reverend Agnes Semwanga<br />
and Reverend Samuel Muwonge. We are<br />

OUR THEME THIS YEAR: LIVING FOR GOD’S GLORY [1 CORINTHIANS 10:31]<br />
tongues and competing voices (chapter<br />
14);denials of the resurrection of Jesus and<br />
of Christians (15:1–58) and others.<br />
The church was full of proud leaders<br />
and followers. There was a lot of sexual<br />
immorality. Spiritual gifts were being<br />
used improperly, and there was rampant<br />
misunderstanding of key Christian<br />
doctrines.<br />
Bringing Paul’s message home<br />
This exposition has been written by Stephen<br />
Ssendikaddiwa<br />
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whatever you do, do it<br />
all for the glory of God.<br />
Understanding The Context<br />
A few years after Paul established a<br />
Church in the city of Corinth, the church<br />
started developing problems. Divisions<br />
among leaders (1:10–4:21; 16:10–18); incest<br />
(5:1–13); prostitution (6:12–21); marriage<br />
and remarriage (7:25–40); idolatry (8:1–<br />
11:1); concerns about women praying and<br />
prophesying in immodest ways (11:2–<br />
16); chaos in worship, with speaking in<br />
The situation in our country today is not<br />
any different from what was happening in<br />
Corinth at that time. We have a number of<br />
a number of churches whose teachings<br />
have brought their congregation into total<br />
confusion.<br />
Where is the solution? - Paul’s<br />
instruction to Corinth<br />
Although in this particular part of the<br />
letter, Paul was addressing questions<br />
regarding eating food that was considered<br />
unclean, the main focus is not on the<br />
food. It is about how we exercise our<br />
Christian liberties. Paul tells us that we<br />
should practice godliness in our conduct.<br />
First, our conduct should glorify God (1<br />
Corinthians 10:31). Second, we should<br />
consider the impact on others before we<br />
act (1 Corinthians 10:23-24), including on<br />
non-believers and on the church of God (1<br />
Corinthians 10:32).<br />

THE <strong>GMR</strong> STORY<br />
About Us<br />
<strong>GMR</strong> is a musical ministry event that started at<br />
St. Paul’s Cathedral, Namirembe in 2006 with the<br />
aim of raising the quality of faith in our members<br />
through participatory praise and worship. We<br />
invite Christians to participate in the singing<br />
and dancing. <strong>GMR</strong> is an event and not a musical<br />
group. Membership is not permanent as each<br />
year invitations are made publicly and willing<br />
participants sign up. This year we are grateful to the<br />
Lord for the 16 years of music ministry<br />
