Show by Various Speakers

This sermon examines 1 Corinthians chapter 5 to argue that the primary measure of a church is not its size or growth, but its holiness and willingness to practice biblical discipline. The message confronts the Corinthian church's arrogance in tolerating flagrant sin, emphasizing that believers must mourn sin rather than celebrate or ignore it. It outlines the four steps of church discipline found in Matthew 18, culminating in the removal of unrepentant members to protect the community's spiritual health. The text warns that unchecked sin spreads like leaven, compromising the church's witness and identity. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a faithful adherence to God's standards, asserting that true love involves confronting sin to preserve the church's purity and ensure the restoration of the sinner.
