Confronting Sin
Manage episode 446282251 series 3017318
In this sermon, Pastor Chris Meads is preaching from 1 Corinthians 5, which deals with a shocking case of sexual immorality within the Corinthian church. He explains that there are two main ways humans rebel against God - through their actions and through their inaction. In this case, the Corinthians are guilty of the latter, allowing a grievous sin to go unchecked in their midst. The pastor reminds the congregation that church discipline is about upholding the glory of Christ and the purity of God's people. He emphasizes that the goal is not condemnation, but restoration - to bring the unrepentant sinner to repentance. The pastor calls on the church to be doers of the word, not mere bystanders, and to embrace the difficult but necessary work of confronting and removing unrepentant sin from the community.
