00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:55.720 Here's the good news, Mike. 00:00:55.720 --> 00:01:01.400 Everybody at home that's live streaming heard you, and our microphones aren't working, 00:01:01.460 -->

Corinthians chapter 5. 00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:09.960 That's where we're going to be this morning. 00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:14.960 As you turn there, I want to kind of fill you guys in or remind you of some things going on. 00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:18.220 Now, I know tonight is the Super Bowl. 00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:20.440 Just quick show of hands. 00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:24.940 Is there anyone who is like, I'm a passionate Los Angeles Rams fan? 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:25.200 Anybody? 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.400 Anybody who's like, man, the Cincinnati Bengals, that's my team. 00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:33.740 Fantastic. 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.580 We got church tonight from 4 to 6, all right? 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.100 All right. 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:39.580 There we go. 00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:46.880 But also, and this is something new for you guys to hear, something we've got planned and going on. 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:48.980 I'm really excited about this. 00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:58.480 Over the last several months ago, God just began to lay on my heart something that Aaron and I have had the opportunity to be a part of in our marriage. 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:13.360 And these weekends have been really monumental in us strengthening our marriage, working through some times and working through some difficulties together when God has given us the opportunity to participate in marriage conferences or marriage retreats. 00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:19.920 And so I wanted to inform you guys that we feel like God is leading us and was able to meet with our staff and work through this. 00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:28.840 And anyways, we're going to be doing a marriage conference here at Willow Church, Friday, March 25th, and Saturday, March 26th. 00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:31.760 And so we're going to host it here on our campus. 00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:35.440 We're going to use some of the resources that we have with Right Now Media. 00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:46.880 And we want to let you know this ahead of time so that you can begin to prepare to make plans to be here with us that evening and then that morning. 00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:50.020 The cost will be $20 per person. 00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:52.640 And here's why I say $20 per person. 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.300 It's a marriage conference. 00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:57.180 And so couples, to be able to be there. 00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:03.420 But I know that some of you in the context of your marriage, of where you're at right now, maybe your spouse is like, no, I'm not coming. 00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:08.100 But you know the desperation that you need to have to fight for your marriage. 00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:09.400 I want to encourage you to be there. 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:19.660 If you're a couple who's dating, who's thinking, who's talking about marriage, if you're engaged, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to come and be a part of this weekend with us. 00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:24.480 Friday night, we're going to have a catered dinner that's going to be brought in that we can have that. 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:31.040 And then Saturday morning, we'll have breakfast with some challenges for our couples to go out and to do that day. 00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:34.820 And I'm really excited just to see what the Lord is going to do. 00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:38.040 And so we're going to be selling tickets to that this morning. 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.960 Pastor Dave will be selling those. 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.160 We'll be in the back. 00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:46.080 From where I am, the back left-hand corner of the auditorium, that he will be there. 00:03:46.260 --> 00:03:48.740 And so please make plans. 00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:55.200 If you've got kids, this gives you plenty of time to get your sitters lined up, to make grandparents aware, 00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:59.900 so that maybe they could take them off your hands for Friday night and Saturday morning, 00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.700 and just looking forward to this wonderful opportunity. 00:04:03.100 --> 00:04:08.260 So if you feel like your marriage is healthy and good, so you don't need this, you're wrong, you do. 00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:14.280 And if you feel like your marriage is desperate and at a point, then you need this. 00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:22.160 I was talking to a couple, and I've used this illustration so many times in my own life, in my own marriage, 00:04:22.380 --> 00:04:26.480 but also as I sit and work through some things with married couples. 00:04:26.820 --> 00:04:32.080 If you think of your marriage like a home, and every marriage has complications, 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.780 every marriage has problems, every marriage has disagreements. 00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:39.400 If you say you don't have those, then I would argue that you don't have a marriage. 00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:46.380 Because that's what it's like when two people come together, even when they seek to glorify God in all that they do. 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:49.680 And I heard this illustration used, and I love it. 00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:51.620 And the pastor that was using it, he said, 00:04:51.940 --> 00:04:58.460 and what we do to maintain healthy marriages in the midst of the chaos is we treat problems like candles. 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.780 A candle gets lit, a problem that's there. 00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:04.940 And we can make one of two choices. 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.740 We can either address the problem and snuff it out, or we can ignore it and walk away. 00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:16.900 And he said, most couples don't address the problem, they ignore it. 00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:21.460 And then the next day another candle's lit, the next day another candle's lit, 00:05:21.960 --> 00:05:24.160 and then another candle, and another candle, and another candle. 00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:30.900 And then eventually so many candles are lit that the house catches on fire. 00:05:31.580 --> 00:05:36.900 And in that moment is when men and women say, now we need help for our marriage. 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.500 And just to be honest with you, when you get to that point, oftentimes it's too late. 00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:47.060 And so maybe you're there, and you're like, well, there's no big deals that are going on. 00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:48.200 Like, we're good. 00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:52.020 We got some stuff, yeah, that we need to work through, but we're treading on. 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.860 Then come here during this weekend and join us as we identify some candles and try to knock some of these candles out. 00:05:58.460 --> 00:06:02.360 Or maybe you're there, and you're like, man, the house is on fire. 00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:06.500 Then what I would say to you is don't wait until March 25th, right? 00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:11.520 Get with us and help us see what we can do to get some things under control 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:14.320 and watch how God's going to bless your marriage through it. 00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:21.480 But I would just like to encourage you to be a part of this wonderful, wonderful weekend experience with us here at our church. 00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:27.120 All right, so as we're getting into 1 Corinthians chapter 5 this morning, 00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:30.200 I want to kind of draw some illustrations for us. 00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:35.080 Now, we know and we've used this that a church is a family. 00:06:35.700 --> 00:06:37.300 You and I, we are family. 00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:42.520 We are brothers and sisters in Christ, but we are a unique family. 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.840 And just as we are a family, we use the illustration that a church is a unique family. 00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:54.980 So like my family and your family, we have a dad, we have a mom, we have kids, 00:06:55.580 --> 00:06:58.180 and we have those similarities that are there. 00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:06.260 But then amongst my family and your family, we find that there's some individual unique characteristics 00:07:06.260 --> 00:07:11.700 that may ring true in my family, but that doesn't ring true in your family. 00:07:11.700 --> 00:07:16.680 And the body of God, the church, is just like that, right? 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.780 Like if we were to leave here, we have unique both strengths and weaknesses at Willow Ridge Church. 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.160 And if we were to journey down the road to Red Bank Baptist, 00:07:26.260 --> 00:07:31.120 we would find that they have their own unique set of circumstances there as well. 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.320 They have their own strengths and their own weaknesses. 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.720 And if we were to pack up and head down to Lexington Baptist in downtown, 00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:39.920 we would find out that that rings true for them as well. 00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:41.300 We are all family. 00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:43.180 We are all body of Christ. 00:07:43.320 --> 00:07:47.120 But that within there, we find our unique set of characteristics, 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:49.840 sometimes strengths, and sometimes weaknesses. 00:07:50.580 --> 00:07:55.960 And as we go through and as we're journeying through this letter of 1 Corinthians, 00:07:56.220 --> 00:08:04.660 it's so important for us to remember that this letter is written to a very unique family of Christ, 00:08:04.820 --> 00:08:06.280 the church at Corinth. 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.800 And so as we go through this, 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.040 we're going to see some of their unique problems that they're facing 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.000 and that Paul's walking through with them 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.440 so that they can be the body that God's called them. 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.340 And what we saw, I think, week number two, 00:08:22.700 --> 00:08:25.040 that God is equipping them to be. 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.420 This is Paul's longing. 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.360 This is Paul's desire for them. 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.080 This is God's desire for them. 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.840 And this is God's desire for us, 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:37.680 that we be the church, we be the family that God has called us to be. 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:43.360 Now, one problem that we've seen that's kind of woven through everything that we've looked at 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.840 is there's this problem that's happened within where there's been divisions in the church at Corinth 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.620 as they're arguing over who they follow. 00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:54.060 Remember, some are like, well, I follow Paul. 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.760 Some are like, I follow Cephas. 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.700 Some, I follow Apollos. 00:08:57.860 --> 00:09:00.180 And there's others that say, I follow Christ, 00:09:00.280 --> 00:09:05.080 meaning like a higher sense of spirituality than others. 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.300 So that's what we've been looking at largely over the last four weeks. 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.780 Now, where we're going at over the next several weeks 00:09:11.780 --> 00:09:16.300 is more of the can of worms is going to be opened. 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.940 And we're going to see that there's even more struggles 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:24.680 that are unique to the Corinthian church. 00:09:25.280 --> 00:09:28.760 And the reason why it's so important that we keep drawing the line that says 00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:31.320 these are unique to the Corinthian church 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.800 is Paul's not addressing society as a whole. 00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:38.340 It's not what's wrong with Corinthian society. 00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:42.900 It's what's broken in the lives of men and women 00:09:42.900 --> 00:09:46.940 who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ. 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.720 And so for us, if we're not careful, 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.560 we can read week in and week out, 00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:54.400 but we don't have that struggle. 00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:55.740 I don't have that struggle. 00:09:56.060 --> 00:09:57.180 Check the box and move on. 00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:02.560 And so what we want to do is we want to draw from their struggles that they have. 00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:03.560 What are the battles? 00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:05.820 What are the issues that they're facing? 00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:09.540 And while we may not face that particular issue as well, 00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:12.280 what are the truths that we can draw from this 00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:17.440 as we seek to be the family of God that God has called us to be, all right? 00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:20.260 And so that's kind of the background of what we're going to see 00:10:20.260 --> 00:10:24.020 over the next several weeks as we work through 1 Corinthians. 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.100 So let's look at this problem in 1 Corinthians 5, starting in verse 1. 00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:32.000 Paul writes and says, 00:10:32.540 --> 00:10:37.380 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you 00:10:37.380 --> 00:10:42.540 And a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans 00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:46.360 For a man has his father's wife 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.560 And you are arrogant 00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:51.600 Ought you not rather to mourn? 00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:56.580 Let him who has done this be removed from among you 00:10:56.580 --> 00:11:00.900 For though absent in body, I am present in spirit 00:11:00.900 --> 00:11:05.920 And as if present, I have already pronounced judgment 00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:10.360 On the one who did such a thing, all right? 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:16.720 So here in verse 1, we are hit with one of these unique problems 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.120 Of what is happening and what is taking place in the church of Corinth 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:25.160 Now, I've tried to fully wrap my brain around and understand this 00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:29.480 And what I've come to understand in my study this week 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.400 Is there's lots of thoughts, there's lots of ideas 00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:38.940 But there's very little consensus on what exactly the specific problem is 00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:43.400 Now, Paul begins, we know that this is dealing with sexual immorality 00:11:43.400 --> 00:11:48.240 And we could spend the next 10 weeks talking about sexual immorality 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.300 But then he goes in to describe this a little bit more 00:11:54.300 --> 00:11:56.820 And what we see, basically what we can draw 00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.880 What I believe is happening 00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:01.260 Is that there is a son 00:12:01.260 --> 00:12:05.380 Who is having a sexually immoral relationship 00:12:05.380 --> 00:12:07.060 With his stepmom 00:12:07.060 --> 00:12:10.700 Now, that's a problem, all right? 00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:13.740 It's an uncomfortable moment in here for this, right? 00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:15.240 And I'll be honest with you 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.460 It's a pretty difficult problem 00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:23.320 For you and I to immediately draw and relate to 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.100 I'm just guessing that when you showed up this morning 00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:28.680 With a list of struggles that you and I are facing 00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:31.160 Like this isn't cracking the top five, you know? 00:12:33.280 --> 00:12:35.000 But the main issue 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.260 Let's look at what Paul is talking about 00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:40.200 Look back at verse 1 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.960 It is actually reported 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.580 That there is sexual immorality 00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:47.600 Among you 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.100 Among you 00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:52.760 Body of believers 00:12:52.760 --> 00:12:57.600 And a kind that is not tolerated 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.140 Even among pagans 00:13:01.140 --> 00:13:06.200 Now, something to understand about the culture of Corinth 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.720 The culture of Corinth 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.480 Was completely 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.480 More times than not 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:14.520 Tolerant 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:17.980 Of the sexual immoral behaviors 00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.760 That the church 00:13:18.760 --> 00:13:20.260 And that God's word 00:13:20.260 --> 00:13:21.360 Would have been against 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.100 But even within this 00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:26.820 He's like, it's a kind of behavior 00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:29.380 That's not even tolerated 00:13:29.380 --> 00:13:31.460 Amongst the pagans 00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:33.500 So is the issue 00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:34.620 That is at hand 00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:36.340 That a man in the church 00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:38.680 Is having a relationship like this 00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:39.700 With his stepmom 00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:40.880 Is this an issue? 00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:42.540 Yes, absolutely 00:13:42.540 --> 00:13:44.020 I put in my notes 00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:45.540 With an exclamation point 00:13:45.540 --> 00:13:47.300 This is wrong 00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:48.380 This is sin 00:13:48.380 --> 00:13:49.720 But what I would argue 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:51.120 For us here 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.160 In the context of where we are 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:54.760 The bigger issue 00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:56.360 Is that the church 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:57.680 Is tolerating it 00:13:57.680 --> 00:13:59.740 That the church 00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:00.880 Is okay with it 00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:02.840 That the church 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.140 Is the body 00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:05.460 That's supposed to represent 00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:06.780 The truth 00:14:06.780 --> 00:14:08.200 Of Jesus Christ 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:08.760 Is like 00:14:08.760 --> 00:14:09.280 No, no, no, no 00:14:09.280 --> 00:14:10.700 We're just going to ignore this 00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:11.240 For a second 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.940 And we're going to tolerate it 00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:15.560 That the issue 00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:16.640 Is that there's a man 00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:18.200 Who is in blatant 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:19.660 Unrepented 00:14:19.660 --> 00:14:21.300 Continual sin 00:14:21.300 --> 00:14:23.340 And he sees nothing wrong 00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:23.720 With it 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.160 And whether they're whispering 00:14:25.160 --> 00:14:26.020 About him 00:14:26.020 --> 00:14:27.240 Behind his back 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.520 There's not the biblical 00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:29.820 Confrontation 00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:31.080 That is happening 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.360 So that he can have 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:33.260 The opportunity 00:14:33.260 --> 00:14:34.460 To be addressed 00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:35.380 With his sin 00:14:35.380 --> 00:14:37.920 And the church 00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:39.980 In Paul's words 00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:42.080 They tolerated 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.380 Look back at verse 2 00:14:44.380 --> 00:14:47.120 Why would the church 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.000 Tolerate this? 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.140 We know it's wrong 00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:54.020 We know it's ungodly 00:14:54.020 --> 00:14:55.880 We know it's not 00:14:55.880 --> 00:14:57.240 What God longs for 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:58.260 And desires 00:14:58.260 --> 00:15:00.440 Why would we tolerate it? 00:15:00.640 --> 00:15:01.020 Paul says 00:15:01.020 --> 00:15:03.180 And you are arrogant 00:15:03.180 --> 00:15:06.040 Ought you not 00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:07.340 Rather to mourn? 00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:10.060 Let him 00:15:10.060 --> 00:15:11.580 Who has done this 00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:13.220 Be removed 00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:14.700 From among you 00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:16.040 Paul says 00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:18.000 Are you arrogant? 00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:19.140 Your pride 00:15:19.140 --> 00:15:20.280 Is preventing 00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:21.260 You 00:15:21.260 --> 00:15:22.660 From doing 00:15:22.660 --> 00:15:23.860 What needs to be done 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:24.980 And which is 00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:26.460 Mourning the sin 00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:27.620 That is rampant 00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:28.180 In the life 00:15:28.180 --> 00:15:28.900 Of this man 00:15:28.900 --> 00:15:30.300 Within your congregation 00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:32.260 And what you need to do 00:15:32.260 --> 00:15:33.820 Is remove him 00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:35.040 Now that's really 00:15:35.040 --> 00:15:35.880 Uncomfortable 00:15:35.880 --> 00:15:37.020 In our culture 00:15:37.020 --> 00:15:39.040 But it's biblical 00:15:39.040 --> 00:15:41.560 And Paul says 00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:42.340 When there's a man 00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:43.360 Like this 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.320 Who claims 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.500 To be a believer 00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:47.300 And is blatantly living 00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:48.820 In this sinful 00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:49.740 Sexual 00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:50.760 Immorality 00:15:50.760 --> 00:15:51.580 Lifestyle 00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:52.340 That he has 00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:54.060 You need to mourn over it 00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:55.280 And you need to remove him 00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:56.220 And we're going to talk about that 00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:57.560 In just a minute 00:15:57.560 --> 00:15:58.860 Of what this means 00:15:58.860 --> 00:15:59.620 And why Paul 00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:00.680 Would call for his 00:16:00.680 --> 00:16:02.280 Removal from the church 00:16:02.280 --> 00:16:03.460 But here's what I want 00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:03.900 To understand 00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:04.580 First 00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:05.560 They're not even 00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:06.460 Addressing it 00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:09.120 And so why not? 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.240 Paul tells us right here 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.620 Pride 00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.680 Prevents 00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:14.640 Biblical 00:16:14.640 --> 00:16:15.840 Confrontation 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.320 He says 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:18.340 And you 00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:19.440 Are arrogant 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.220 It's all 00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:22.280 What comes back 00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:22.660 To their 00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:24.000 Their lack of unity 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.220 Within the congregation 00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:26.540 Of their church 00:16:26.540 --> 00:16:27.000 And so 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:27.920 Here's something 00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:28.800 That I've been wrestling 00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.640 With this week 00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:30.900 And just pouring over 00:16:30.900 --> 00:16:32.680 Is how does pride 00:16:32.680 --> 00:16:34.580 Prevent me 00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:36.440 From addressing sin 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:37.500 In the life 00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:38.020 Of a believer? 00:16:39.020 --> 00:16:40.100 How does that prevent it? 00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:41.220 Now 00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:42.040 Now because sometimes 00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:43.340 When we see 00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:43.980 A lack 00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:44.900 Of confrontation 00:16:44.900 --> 00:16:45.400 Now 00:16:45.400 --> 00:16:46.600 There are people 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.200 In this world 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.340 That are good 00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:48.880 At confrontation 00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:49.960 And there are people 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:50.440 In this world 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:51.200 Who are bad 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:51.740 At confrontation 00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:52.120 Right? 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.280 I would classify 00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:54.060 Myself 00:16:54.060 --> 00:16:55.140 An area that God 00:16:55.140 --> 00:16:56.580 Has growing me 00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:57.860 And desperately needs 00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.600 To continue 00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.460 To grow me 00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:00.580 Is I'm not great 00:17:00.580 --> 00:17:01.240 At confrontation 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:01.720 Right? 00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.800 I will not sleep 00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:03.560 For weeks 00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:04.020 When I know 00:17:04.020 --> 00:17:04.740 That I've got to deal 00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:05.720 With something like that 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.860 But God don't set me 00:17:06.860 --> 00:17:07.700 Free from it 00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.240 And so 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:08.620 It's been 00:17:08.620 --> 00:17:09.300 It's been 00:17:09.300 --> 00:17:10.440 An interesting journey 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:10.880 This week 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.120 To walk through this 00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:14.100 And to ask the question 00:17:14.100 --> 00:17:14.380

we've got to 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.580 Prove that we are 00:17:56.580 --> 00:17:57.740 Something beyond this 00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:59.740 And when we understand 00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:00.240 That 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.960 We begin to see 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.220 The specific behaviors 00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:06.120 In the life of people 00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:07.920 That prevent them 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:09.400 From addressing sin 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:10.140 Because of pride 00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:11.380 Here's four things 00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:12.360 That I see 00:18:12.360

us 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.260 From addressing sin 00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:20.040 In the life of a believer 00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:21.020 Number one 00:18:21.020 --> 00:18:21.860 What prevents us 00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:22.460 Is this 00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:23.640 The question that comes 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:23.960 To us 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.780 Well what if they 00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:25.560 Address my sin 00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:26.860 Right? 00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.700 You ever gone to 00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:29.440 Call somebody out 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:29.860 On something 00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:32.320 And then what do they do? 00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:33.900 They turn it back on you 00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:35.580 And what's our reaction? 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.020 No, no, no 00:18:36.020 --> 00:18:37.000 This isn't about me 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:37.740 But no, no, no 00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:38.500 But it is 00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:38.800 Right? 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.020 That's not a good feeling 00:18:41.020 --> 00:18:41.900 That's 00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:42.760 If you're a person 00:18:42.760 --> 00:18:44.480 Who struggles with pride 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.740 What do you not want? 00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:46.520 You don't want 00:18:46.520 --> 00:18:47.800 To be called out yourself 00:18:47.800 --> 00:18:49.040 But if you go 00:18:49.040 --> 00:18:49.620 And you know how 00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:51.280 Confrontation plays out 00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:52.000 So many times 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.060 What happens over 00:18:53.060 --> 00:18:53.800 The course of this 00:18:53.800 --> 00:18:54.520 Well I'm going to 00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:55.380 Address this with you 00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:56.040 Then you're going to 00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:56.980 Address this with me 00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:58.420 And pride prevents that 00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:59.320 Number two 00:18:59.320 --> 00:19:01.320 How does pride prevent 00:19:01.320 --> 00:19:02.300 Addressing sin 00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:03.340 In the life of a believer? 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:04.040 Number two 00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:05.480 What if the relationship 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.120 Is broken? 00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:07.340 Right? 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:08.100 What if the relationship 00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:08.620 Is broken? 00:19:09.760 --> 00:19:10.540 And I get that's hard 00:19:10.540 --> 00:19:11.980 That's hard 00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:13.500 I've got a friend 00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:14.160 I've got a loved one 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:14.480 I've got someone 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:15.100 That I care about 00:19:15.100 --> 00:19:15.800 But I see this 00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:16.580 And if I sit down 00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:17.580 And address this 00:19:17.580 --> 00:19:18.880 If I draw the line 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:19.720 Of God's standard 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.320 To what's right 00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:20.800 And what's wrong 00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:21.720 If I call them out 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.340 On the behavior 00:19:22.340 --> 00:19:23.200 If I point them 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.120 Toward the consequences 00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:25.000 That will exist 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.520 What if the relationship 00:19:26.520 --> 00:19:28.000 Is broken? 00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:29.260 And that's pride 00:19:29.260 --> 00:19:30.960 That's pride 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:31.740 And here's why 00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:32.280 That's pride 00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:33.220 It seems like humility 00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:34.180 And it's not 00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:35.540 Here's why it's pride 00:19:35.540 --> 00:19:35.780 Alright? 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.980 And this is something 00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:37.960 That's been big for me 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.380 This week 00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:39.460 Here's why it's pride 00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:40.740 Because I'm determining 00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:41.940 That my relationship 00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:42.520 With them 00:19:42.520 --> 00:19:43.660 Is more valuable 00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.700 Than their relationship 00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.180 With the Lord 00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:49.320 But what if they repent 00:19:49.320 --> 00:19:51.720 What if they're broken 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.960 What if we see 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.640 As we're gonna see 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.420 Kind of sneaking 00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:56.460 Into the next couple points 00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:57.340 What if they see 00:19:57.340 --> 00:19:57.960 As the result 00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.720 Of your confrontation 00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.420 With them 00:19:59.420 --> 00:20:00.480 That the relationship 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:01.100 Is broken 00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:01.680 And they're left 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.200 To wander 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:03.060 In the wilderness 00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:03.820 Of their sin 00:20:03.820 --> 00:20:04.800 And what happens 00:20:04.800 --> 00:20:05.620 Is their salvation 00:20:05.620 --> 00:20:07.160 Right? 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.520 Are we willing? 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:09.560 What if the relationship 00:20:09.560 --> 00:20:10.100 Is broken? 00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:11.220 Number three 00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:13.540 How pride prevents us 00:20:13.540 --> 00:20:14.500 What will others say? 00:20:15.340 --> 00:20:16.180 What will others say? 00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.180 Alright? 00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:20.540 We can see how this 00:20:20.540 --> 00:20:21.340 Narrative plays out 00:20:21.340 --> 00:20:24.580 Can you believe 00:20:24.580 --> 00:20:26.340 What so and so 00:20:26.340 --> 00:20:27.280 Put their nose in 00:20:27.280 --> 00:20:28.280 That's none of their business? 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.780 I don't want that person 00:20:30.780 --> 00:20:31.380 In my life 00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:33.620 Who are they 00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:34.280 To think 00:20:34.280 --> 00:20:34.980 That they 00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:36.140 Can go to? 00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:37.380 Right? 00:20:37.580 --> 00:20:38.540 What will others say? 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.820 Again, pride 00:20:39.820 --> 00:20:41.440 What will others 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.660 Think about me? 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:43.640 How will it affect 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.100 Others' 00:20:44.100 --> 00:20:45.960 Expectations of me? 00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:47.260 And then number four 00:20:47.260 --> 00:20:48.780 And I think this is 00:20:48.780 --> 00:20:49.760 Where it hit the hardest 00:20:49.760 --> 00:20:52.700 How it affects pride 00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:53.340 Is this 00:20:53.340 --> 00:20:54.960 When we're unwilling 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.040 To address people 00:20:57.040 --> 00:20:58.240 Because of their sin 00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.760 We become the person 00:20:59.760 --> 00:21:00.740 Who determines 00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:02.020 Which sins do matter 00:21:02.020 --> 00:21:02.860 And which sins 00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.380 Don't matter 00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:05.540 And let's just be honest 00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:05.940 You and I 00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:06.560 Were never given 00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:07.360 The job description 00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:08.760 By God to define sin 00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:10.040 He says I got it covered 00:21:10.040 --> 00:21:10.660 Right? 00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:12.440 He says I got it covered 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:13.740 And he's going to 00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.580 Give us some examples 00:21:14.580 --> 00:21:15.200 Of some things 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.820 Later on in this passage 00:21:16.820 --> 00:21:17.720 Where it's like 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.300 It's not just 00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:19.180 The sexually immoral 00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:20.560 That we need to address 00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:22.080 But here's my standard 00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:23.420 And if we decide 00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:23.940 As the ones 00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.440 That are supposed 00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:25.520 To be submitted to him 00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:27.120 Who are we 00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:28.840 To be that person 00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:30.040 And this is where 00:21:30.040 --> 00:21:31.420 Paul finds 00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:32.520 That the church 00:21:32.520 --> 00:21:33.360 Is broken 00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:34.680 Right? 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:36.380 Not only divided 00:21:36.380 --> 00:21:38.360 In who they will follow 00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:40.500 But unified 00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:42.280 In the acceptance 00:21:42.280 --> 00:21:42.820 Of sin 00:21:42.820 --> 00:21:44.220 Right? 00:21:44.780 --> 00:21:45.780 Here's the division 00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:47.020 That we accept 00:21:47.020 --> 00:21:48.700 And here's the unity 00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:49.640 That we accept 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:50.460 And the unity 00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:51.200 That we accept 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.060 Is not centered 00:21:52.060 --> 00:21:52.780 Around Christ 00:21:52.780 --> 00:21:53.600 But it's centered 00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:55.120 Around the acceptance 00:21:55.120 --> 00:21:55.680 Of sin 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.100 Let's keep reading 00:21:57.100 --> 00:21:57.640 Verse 4 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.020 Paul says this 00:22:00.020 --> 00:22:00.300 He says 00:22:00.300 --> 00:22:01.700 When you are assembled 00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:03.600 In the name 00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:04.540 Of the Lord Jesus 00:22:04.540 --> 00:22:06.660 And my spirit 00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:07.720 Is present 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:09.120 With the power 00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:10.280 Of our Lord Jesus 00:22:10.280 --> 00:22:12.100 You are to deliver 00:22:12.100 --> 00:22:13.020 This man 00:22:13.020 --> 00:22:13.960 To Satan 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.840 For the destruction 00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:16.960 Of the flesh 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.780 So that his spirit 00:22:19.320 --> 00:22:20.920 May be saved 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:22.100 In the day 00:22:22.100 --> 00:22:22.100 In the day 00:22:22.100 --> 00:22:23.100 Of the Lord 00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:24.100 That's complicated 00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:24.680 A couple verses 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:25.100 Right there 00:22:25.100 --> 00:22:27.180 And so to kind of 00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:27.580 Spill over 00:22:27.580 --> 00:22:28.560 From 3 to 4 00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:29.040 Paul says 00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:30.040 Look I'm going to come 00:22:30.040 --> 00:22:31.680 I'm going to be here 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:32.860 And when I 00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:34.060 When I get there 00:22:34.060 --> 00:22:35.260 If you guys 00:22:35.260 --> 00:22:35.840 Haven't dealt 00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:36.660 With the issue 00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:37.520 I'm going to deal 00:22:37.520 --> 00:22:37.840 With it 00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:38.700 And here's how 00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:39.360 I'm going to deal 00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:39.680 With it 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:40.200 Let's look back 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.920 At verse 5 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:41.300 Because we're 00:22:41.300 --> 00:22:41.640 Going to focus 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:42.060 In on 00:22:42.060 --> 00:22:43.980 You're delivered 00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:44.580 This man 00:22:44.580 --> 00:22:45.260 To Satan 00:22:45.260 --> 00:22:47.660 For the destruction 00:22:47.660 --> 00:22:49.040 Of the flesh 00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:51.420 So that his spirit 00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:53.100 May be saved 00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:54.520 In the day 00:22:54.520 --> 00:22:55.640 Of the Lord 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.400 So he says 00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:58.040 To the church 00:22:58.040 --> 00:22:59.380 He says 00:22:59.380 --> 00:23:00.020 He's a believer 00:23:00.020 --> 00:23:01.560 He says 00:23:01.560 --> 00:23:02.220 He's a follower 00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:02.840 Of Christ 00:23:02.840 --> 00:23:03.940 But yet 00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.880 In his life 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.940 Is not only 00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:07.200 Blatant sin 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.420 But it's 00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:09.980 Unrepented sin 00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:11.400 It's important 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.400 Raise your hand 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:14.260 If you're perfect 00:23:14.260 --> 00:23:15.400 Good right 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:17.300 All our hands 00:23:17.300 --> 00:23:17.740 Are down 00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:20.920 But the issue 00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.580 Is not 00:23:21.580 --> 00:23:22.600 Is there sin 00:23:22.600 --> 00:23:24.280 The issue 00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:25.000 Is is there 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.600 Blatant 00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:26.200 Is there 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:27.140 Unrepented 00:23:27.140 --> 00:23:27.920 Sin 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.780 In a life 00:23:28.780 --> 00:23:29.400 Of a person 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:30.280 Who claims 00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:31.020 To be a follower 00:23:31.020 --> 00:23:31.500 Of Christ 00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:32.660 Who understands 00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.640 God's standard 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:34.500 For his life 00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.600 If so 00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:37.020 Break fellowship 00:23:37.020 --> 00:23:37.700 With him 00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.300 Paul says 00:23:38.300 --> 00:23:39.880 Break it 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.740 Send him out 00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.440 Now when he says 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:43.340 Deliver him 00:23:43.340 --> 00:23:44.400 This man to Satan 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:45.460 Like this isn't 00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:46.320 Like a fine Satan 00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:46.860 Knock on the door 00:23:46.860 --> 00:23:47.500 Like here he is 00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:48.220 Do what you want to 00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:48.500 With him 00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:49.500 What he's talking 00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:50.400 About right here 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:51.840 Is a break 00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:52.940 In the fellowship 00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:54.060 Of the body 00:23:54.060 --> 00:23:55.400 He's saying 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.440 Those of you 00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:57.700 Who are the church 00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:58.720 And this man 00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.180 Claims that he is 00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:01.400 Then break that 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:02.420 Because here's 00:24:02.420 --> 00:24:03.240 What he is going 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:04.420 To have to face 00:24:04.420 --> 00:24:05.560 He's going to 00:24:05.560 --> 00:24:06.480 Have to face 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.640 The consequences 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.740 Of his sin 00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:10.840 And specifically 00:24:10.840 --> 00:24:12.220 He's going to 00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:13.020 Have to face 00:24:13.020 --> 00:24:14.040 The consequences 00:24:14.040 --> 00:24:14.740 Of sin 00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:16.220 In the spiritual realm 00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:17.740 Right 00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:20.200 There is 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:21.080 A connection 00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:22.680 In our walk 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.600 With the Lord 00:24:23.600 --> 00:24:25.200 In our connection 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:26.420 In biblical community 00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.160 Amongst 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:28.060 One another 00:24:28.060 --> 00:24:29.240 There is 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.300 There's a closeness 00:24:31.300 --> 00:24:32.260 That we can have 00:24:32.260 --> 00:24:33.220 And the deeper 00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:34.360 This is for a whole 00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:34.920 Another message 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:35.560 At a whole 00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:36.140 Another different time 00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:36.940 But the deeper 00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.640 We dive 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:38.620 Into community 00:24:38.620 --> 00:24:39.620 Together 00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:41.840 And seeking 00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:43.160 To glorify the Lord 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:44.080 The closer 00:24:44.080 --> 00:24:45.040 We are drawn 00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:45.480 To him 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.160 It's a beauty 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:46.740 It's why God 00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.400 Gave us 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:48.380 One another 00:24:48.380 --> 00:24:50.780 And Paul says 00:24:50.780 --> 00:24:52.020 Stop 00:24:52.020 --> 00:24:53.500 Protecting him 00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.280 You've got to 00:24:54.280 --> 00:24:55.040 Break this 00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:56.820 Because a break 00:24:56.820 --> 00:24:58.160 From the body 00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.960 Means he'll face 00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:01.160 This world 00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:02.080 Alone 00:25:02.080 --> 00:25:04.140 Without the love 00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:06.080 Without the support 00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:08.020 Without the encouragement 00:25:08.020 --> 00:25:09.460 From his church 00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:12.080 It's time to break it 00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:13.600 Because look where 00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:14.560 He says he's going 00:25:14.560 --> 00:25:16.380 He's going out 00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:17.060 Into the world 00:25:17.060 --> 00:25:17.700 That he doesn't 00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:18.380 Even tolerate 00:25:18.380 --> 00:25:19.100 What he does 00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:20.860 Right 00:25:20.860 --> 00:25:22.500 So he's got a group 00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.340 That tolerates it 00:25:23.340 --> 00:25:23.920 He's got a group 00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:24.740 That accepts it 00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:25.440 He's got a group 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.200 That just maybe 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:27.000 Probably whispers 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:27.700 Behind his back 00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:28.700 Not addresses it 00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:29.580 But even those 00:25:29.580 --> 00:25:30.380 On the outside 00:25:30.380 --> 00:25:30.620 Are like 00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:31.000 Nah bro 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:31.760 That's your stepmom 00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:32.080 Right 00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:34.600 Releasing to it 00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:37.280 Releasing to it 00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:38.920 And watch 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:40.080 What's going 00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:41.020 To happen 00:25:41.020 --> 00:25:41.680 Paul says 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:42.380 Discipline 00:25:42.380 --> 00:25:43.380 And remove him 00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:43.580 So 00:25:43.580 --> 00:25:44.960 But here's the reason 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.120 Why 00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:45.800 We talked about this 00:25:45.800 --> 00:25:47.980 I think last week 00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.220 Right 00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:50.560 The potential result 00:25:50.560 --> 00:25:51.220 Of discipline 00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:52.140 Right 00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:53.060 If you weren't here 00:25:53.060 --> 00:25:53.380 Last week 00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:53.900 We talked a little bit 00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:54.280 About this 00:25:54.280 --> 00:25:55.560 That the goal 00:25:55.560 --> 00:25:57.080 Of biblical discipline 00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:58.540 Is not to punish 00:25:58.540 --> 00:26:00.340 That's not the goal 00:26:00.340 --> 00:26:01.960 It's not you did this 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:02.440 So here's what 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.420 We get to do to you 00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:04.360 Right 00:26:04.360 --> 00:26:05.980 The goal 00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.980 Of church 00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.980 Discipline 00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:09.020 That the goal 00:26:09.020 --> 00:26:09.660 Of biblical 00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:10.880 Confrontation 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:11.720 Is not for 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:12.440 Punishment 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.080 But it's for 00:26:13.080 --> 00:26:13.700 Correction 00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:15.120 To bring back 00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:16.160 To have them 00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:17.060 In right standing 00:26:17.060 --> 00:26:18.060 Before the Lord 00:26:18.060 --> 00:26:18.800 And so what we 00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:20.060 What Paul lays out 00:26:20.060 --> 00:26:20.800 Are some potential 00:26:20.800 --> 00:26:21.860 Results of this 00:26:21.860 --> 00:26:22.360 Discipline 00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:23.300 If you stop 00:26:23.300 --> 00:26:24.500 Protecting him 00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:25.480 If you'll stop 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.560 Being the parents 00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:27.440 Who are ignoring 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:28.480 The destructive 00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:29.440 Behaviors 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:30.540 Of their child 00:26:30.540 --> 00:26:31.440 That's destroying 00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:32.400 All of this around 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:33.260 Then here's 00:26:33.260 --> 00:26:34.400 What God could do 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:35.060 Here's what 00:26:35.060 --> 00:26:35.780 Would take place 00:26:35.780 --> 00:26:36.600 If you stop 00:26:36.600 --> 00:26:37.760 Protecting him 00:26:37.760 --> 00:26:38.380 That yes 00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:39.440 He will live 00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.860 In the consequences 00:26:40.860 --> 00:26:41.840 Of his sin 00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:43.700 Full blown 00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.720 The consequences 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.740 He faces 00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.660 The choices 00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:47.720 Of this life 00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.220 Without having 00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.400 The enabling 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:51.220 Behaviors 00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:52.000 Of those who 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.740 Are close to him 00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:54.640 When we protect 00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.660 People from discipline 00:26:55.660 --> 00:26:56.700 That's what we do 00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:58.340 We enable 00:26:58.340 --> 00:26:59.180 Their poor 00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:00.060 Decisions 00:27:00.060 --> 00:27:01.340 And then Paul 00:27:01.340 --> 00:27:01.920 Says this 00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:02.960 And when he's 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:03.780 Left of that 00:27:03.780 --> 00:27:04.800 When he's left 00:27:04.800 --> 00:27:05.760 For Satan 00:27:05.760 --> 00:27:06.360 No longer 00:27:06.360 --> 00:27:06.980 In protection 00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:07.860 Of the body 00:27:07.860 --> 00:27:08.780 But he could 00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:09.640 Become broken 00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.840 For his sin 00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:12.520 Repent of his sin 00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:13.460 And cry out 00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.100 To Jesus 00:27:14.100 --> 00:27:15.040 Paul says 00:27:15.040 --> 00:27:16.300 When we release him 00:27:16.300 --> 00:27:17.260 That this is what 00:27:17.260 --> 00:27:18.020 Could take place 00:27:18.020 --> 00:27:19.240 And the result 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:20.200 Of this church 00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:20.900 Discipline 00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:21.800 Could be 00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:23.780 His salvation 00:27:23.780 --> 00:27:25.360 Paul says 00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:25.780 This is what 00:27:25.780 --> 00:27:27.080 We're holding him 00:27:27.080 --> 00:27:28.140 Back from this 00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:29.040 Opportunity 00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:31.540 Stop trying 00:27:31.540 --> 00:27:32.640 To save him 00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:34.240 From the consequences 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:35.040 Of his sinful 00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:35.640 Actions 00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:36.680 That he chooses 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.320 And that God 00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:39.280 May use those 00:27:39.280 --> 00:27:40.060 Consequences 00:27:40.060 --> 00:27:41.160 To bring him 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:41.660 Back 00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:42.940 To brokenness 00:27:42.940 --> 00:27:53.160 The day that I got saved 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:57.240 The day that I got saved 00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:05.300 My mother looked at me 00:28:05.300 --> 00:28:05.940 And released me 00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:07.960 Go 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.560 Go do what you're 00:28:10.560 --> 00:28:11.000 Going to do 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.120 Go be who 00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:13.660 You're going to be 00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:15.960 It's not godly 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:17.180 It's not God's 00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:18.140 Desire for you 00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:18.980 But if that's 00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.820 What you want to do 00:28:19.820 --> 00:28:20.900 Go chase it 00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:22.220 And find the consequences 00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.780 That this world 00:28:22.780 --> 00:28:23.340 Has for you 00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:26.360 And I praise the Lord 00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:29.460 That before the sun 00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:30.100 Went down 00:28:30.100 --> 00:28:32.560 Jesus brought me 00:28:32.560 --> 00:28:33.060 To my knees 00:28:33.060 --> 00:28:34.560 Right 00:28:34.560 --> 00:28:38.220 Stop trying 00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:40.520 Let the consequence 00:28:40.520 --> 00:28:41.160 Be there 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.060 Let the brokenness 00:28:43.060 --> 00:28:43.940 Be there 00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:45.560 So that the hope 00:28:45.560 --> 00:28:46.560 Might be 00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:47.420 That God 00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:48.340 Uses 00:28:48.340 --> 00:28:49.440 All things 00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.960 All things 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.360 All things 00:28:52.360 --> 00:28:54.040 And so not 00:28:54.040 --> 00:28:55.260 Disciplining him 00:28:55.260 --> 00:28:56.940 Is hurting him 00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:58.780 But it's also 00:28:58.780 --> 00:28:59.620 Hurting the church 00:28:59.620 --> 00:29:01.300 Look at verse 6 00:29:01.300 --> 00:29:03.960 Your boasting 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:04.700 Is not good 00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:07.620 Do you not know 00:29:07.620 --> 00:29:08.240 That a little 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.920 Leaven 00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:09.980 Leavens the whole 00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:10.240 Lump 00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:12.100 Cleanse out the 00:29:12.100 --> 00:29:12.660 Old leaven 00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:13.960 That you may be 00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.540 A new lump 00:29:14.540 --> 00:29:16.880 As you really 00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:18.340 Are unleavened 00:29:18.340 --> 00:29:20.020 For Christ 00:29:20.020 --> 00:29:21.200 Our Passover lamb 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.560 Has been sacrificed 00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:25.620 Let us therefore 00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:26.800 Celebrate the festival 00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:28.400 Not with the old 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.740 Leaven 00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:30.060 The leaven 00:29:30.060 --> 00:29:30.700 Of malice 00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.200 And evil 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.860 But with the 00:29:32.860 --> 00:29:33.780 Unleavened bread 00:29:33.780 --> 00:29:35.120 Of sincerity 00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:36.480 And truth 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.420 Not only in the life 00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:39.980 Of the person 00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:41.320 Does this need 00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:42.060 To take place 00:29:42.060 --> 00:29:43.080 But it needs 00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:43.540 To happen 00:29:43.540 --> 00:29:44.180 In the church 00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:45.340 And here's 00:29:45.340 --> 00:29:45.860 Why sin 00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:46.680 Must be removed 00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.900 Paul uses 00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:49.620 An illustration 00:29:49.620 --> 00:29:50.500 Here of 00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:51.080 Leaven 00:29:51.080 --> 00:29:51.920 Or yeast 00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.380 In the bread 00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:52.860 And this can go 00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.520 All the way back 00:29:53.520 --> 00:29:54.800 To the Passover 00:29:54.800 --> 00:29:55.900 And the Passover meal 00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:58.000 We don't have the time 00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.000 To go into all that 00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.300 Today 00:29:59.300 --> 00:30:00.180 But the idea 00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:01.320 Of leaven 00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:02.480 Was used 00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.780 To signify 00:30:03.780 --> 00:30:04.700 Sin 00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.580 Right 00:30:05.580 --> 00:30:07.280 And Paul says 00:30:07.280 --> 00:30:07.700 To them 00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:09.240 But you are now 00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.060 In Christ 00:30:10.060 --> 00:30:11.980 You're unleavened 00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:13.060 Meaning this 00:30:13.060 --> 00:30:13.740 That when Christ 00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.740 Saved you 00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:16.200 He removed 00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:17.940 Spiritually speaking 00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:18.680 The leaven 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:19.320 From you 00:30:19.320 --> 00:30:20.560 He removed 00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:21.380 The sin 00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:22.420 From you 00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:24.020 He paid the price 00:30:24.020 --> 00:30:25.020 For that 00:30:25.020 --> 00:30:26.140 But if you 00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:27.140 Allow 00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:28.200 The leaven 00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:29.520 To exist 00:30:29.520 --> 00:30:30.460 In you 00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:31.840 And amongst you 00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:33.000 What happens 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:33.900 With yeast 00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:35.500 It spreads 00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:37.560 It grows 00:30:37.560 --> 00:30:39.960 It infiltrates 00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:41.360 And will infect 00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:42.420 The entire 00:30:42.420 --> 00:30:42.440 The entire 00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:43.040 Batch 00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:43.960 The entire 00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.660 Church 00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.360 And so when 00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:46.320 This is allowed 00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:47.340 What we think 00:30:47.340 --> 00:30:48.740 What we can do 00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:50.460 Is isolate it 00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:51.100 And think to 00:30:51.100 --> 00:30:51.660 Ourselves 00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:52.480 Well this is 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:53.840 Such a rare 00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:54.580 Case 00:30:54.580 --> 00:30:55.680 This is only 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.320 Them 00:30:56.320 --> 00:30:57.340 We're just here 00:30:57.340 --> 00:30:58.400 To love them 00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:59.340 Through this 00:30:59.340 --> 00:31:00.560 But what happens 00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:01.480 Is it begins 00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:02.240 To spread 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:03.200 Maybe not 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:04.260 Through action 00:31:04.260 --> 00:31:05.680 But through 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.060 Acceptance 00:31:07.060 --> 00:31:09.940 Well if this 00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:11.060 Form 00:31:11.060 --> 00:31:12.820 Of sexual 00:31:12.820 --> 00:31:13.460 Immorality 00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:15.060 Is allowed 00:31:15.060 --> 00:31:17.100 And accepted 00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:17.760 And okay 00:31:17.760 --> 00:31:19.800 Then my sexual 00:31:19.800 --> 00:31:20.400 Immorality 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:21.180 May look 00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:21.560 Different 00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:22.280 Act different 00:31:22.280 --> 00:31:23.720 Manifest itself 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:24.300 Differently 00:31:24.300 --> 00:31:25.100 But if that's 00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:25.480 Accepted 00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:25.820 Then this 00:31:25.820 --> 00:31:26.160 Is too 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.200 And if this 00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:28.900 Has been accepted 00:31:28.900 --> 00:31:29.720 Beyond god's 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:29.980 Standard 00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:30.540 Then what about 00:31:30.540 --> 00:31:31.260 This and what 00:31:31.260 --> 00:31:31.700 About this 00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:31.980

About this 00:31:33.780 --> 00:31:35.620 And eventually 00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:36.200 What appeared 00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:36.520 To be 00:31:36.520 --> 00:31:37.280 A little 00:31:37.280 --> 00:31:38.980 What appeared 00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:39.500 To be 00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:40.880 Manageable 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:42.480 Begins to 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:42.900 Grow 00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:44.080 And grow 00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:45.260 And grow 00:31:45.260 --> 00:31:47.340 To allow 00:31:47.340 --> 00:31:48.280 Unrepentant 00:31:48.280 --> 00:31:48.680 Sin 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:50.680 To remain 00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.060 Church 00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:53.580 Is a gross 00:31:53.580 --> 00:31:54.500 Misunderstanding 00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.060 Of grace 00:31:55.060 --> 00:31:57.320 Grace does not 00:31:57.320 --> 00:31:58.280 Tolerate sin 00:31:58.280 --> 00:32:00.720 Grace and truth 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:02.360 Are connected 00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:03.100 In

00:32:09.440 Love and forgiveness 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:10.720 For the person 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:11.720 Who is repentant 00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:12.220 Of their sin 00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:13.600 Right 00:32:13.600 --> 00:32:15.300 We're not looking 00:32:15.300 --> 00:32:16.500 For perfection 00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.500 But what we're 00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:18.160 Looking for 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.300 Is the perfected 00:32:19.300 --> 00:32:20.020 Savior in the 00:32:20.020 --> 00:32:20.860 Life of the believer 00:32:20.860 --> 00:32:22.320 Right 00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:23.760 And Paul says 00:32:23.760 --> 00:32:24.140 When we 00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:25.180 Accept this 00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:26.240 It begins to 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:26.720 Spread 00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:27.820 And spread 00:32:27.820 --> 00:32:28.820 And spread 00:32:28.820 --> 00:32:30.500 And this goes out 00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:30.960 With these last 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:31.540 Several verses 00:32:31.540 --> 00:32:33.820 And it says 00:32:33.820 --> 00:32:34.560 I wrote to you 00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:35.200 In my letter 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:35.900 Now this was that 00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:36.620 If you go all back 00:32:36.620 --> 00:32:37.380 Remember week one 00:32:37.380 --> 00:32:38.260 This is the first letter 00:32:38.260 --> 00:32:39.480 That we don't have access to 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.260 That Paul had written 00:32:40.260 --> 00:32:40.900 To them already 00:32:40.900 --> 00:32:42.940 Not to associate 00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:44.360 With sexually immoral people 00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:45.020 So Paul's been 00:32:45.020 --> 00:32:46.000 Dealing with this 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.280 Right 00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:47.920 Look at verse 10 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.180 Now 00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:50.540 Not at all meaning 00:32:50.540 --> 00:32:52.480 The sexually immoral 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:53.480 Of this world 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.700 Or the

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:44.440 In the world 00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:45.880 What it means 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:46.200 To be living 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:46.560 In the world 00:33:46.560 -->

hold the world to 00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:56.240 In a sad 00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.280 Narrative 00:33:58.280 --> 00:33:59.140 Of the church 00:33:59.140 --> 00:34:01.180 From Corinth 00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:02.640 To today 00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:05.420 Is let's be quick 00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:06.720 To point the finger 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.740 Of judgment 00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:09.340 Of those outside 00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:10.760 While we ignore 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:12.140 The sinful behaviors 00:34:12.140 --> 00:34:13.340 Of those inside 00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:16.900 It's so much easier 00:34:16.900 --> 00:34:17.580 To say 00:34:17.580 --> 00:34:19.520 How they're wrong 00:34:19.520 --> 00:34:22.000 How they're ungodly 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:23.960 But yet we won't deal 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:25.220 With what's happening 00:34:25.220 --> 00:34:26.480 Amongst the body 00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.560 And what we've seen 00:34:28.560 --> 00:34:31.340 We know the narrative 00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:34.380 Is that all too often 00:34:34.380 --> 00:34:35.080 Unfortunately 00:34:35.080 --> 00:34:37.800 Is the church 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:39.380 Is the reflection 00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:39.880 Of the world 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:40.760 It finds itself in 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:43.400 Instead of being broken 00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.380 Before the Lord 00:34:46.380 --> 00:34:48.140 In the church 00:34:48.140 --> 00:34:48.800 Paul says 00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.060 The sexually immoral 00:34:50.060 --> 00:34:50.960 The greedy 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.040 The

00:34:56.900 Faith in Christ 00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:58.620 But this is who they are 00:34:58.620 --> 00:35:00.000 They're unrepentant 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.020 They don't care 00:35:01.020 --> 00:35:02.180 They're living in anarchy 00:35:02.180 --> 00:35:02.880 Before the Lord 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:03.820 And who are you 00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:04.680 To bring them 00:35:04.680 --> 00:35:05.960 We break from them 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:07.860 But those who are 00:35:07.860 --> 00:35:08.820 In the world 00:35:08.820 --> 00:35:09.860 Who are like this 00:35:09.860 --> 00:35:10.480 You know 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:11.720 The groups of people 00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:12.980 Jesus hung out with 00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:15.280 We share 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:16.020 We proclaim 00:35:16.020 --> 00:35:16.780 We befriend 00:35:16.780 --> 00:35:17.300 In hopes 00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:19.320 In hopes 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:19.320 In hopes 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:21.020 That we 00:35:21.020 --> 00:35:22.240 Can share 00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:23.100 The gospel 00:35:23.100 --> 00:35:24.700 Of Jesus Christ 00:35:24.700 --> 00:35:25.720 With them 00:35:25.720 --> 00:35:28.040 So that they can have 00:35:28.040 --> 00:35:29.180 The moment 00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:29.960 That we had 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:31.700 To be broken 00:35:31.700 --> 00:35:33.000 For who we are 00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:34.300 In the desperate 00:35:34.300 --> 00:35:35.740 Need of the Savior 00:35:35.740 --> 00:35:36.900 Right 00:35:36.900 --> 00:35:39.140 We got discipline 00:35:39.140 --> 00:35:40.200 That we gotta do in here 00:35:40.200 --> 00:35:42.640 Within our family 00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:45.160 Within our individual families 00:35:45.160 --> 00:35:46.720 And within ourselves 00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:48.980 We need men 00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:49.400 And women 00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:50.440 Of bold faith 00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:51.660 To be able 00:35:51.660 --> 00:35:52.740 To look at one another 00:35:52.740 --> 00:35:53.900 And say 00:35:53.900 --> 00:35:55.440 It's not out of pride 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.140 That I think 00:35:56.140 --> 00:35:57.360 That I've got this right 00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:58.640 But it's in humility 00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.920 That I come before you 00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:01.400 And whether you call me out 00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:02.740 Whether you walk away 00:36:02.740 --> 00:36:03.280 From me 00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:04.100 And no matter what 00:36:04.100 --> 00:36:04.940 The consequences 00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:06.240 That I might face 00:36:06.240 --> 00:36:07.840 I'm desperately concerned 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:08.900 With who you are 00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.800 And who you claim 00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:10.600 To be in Christ 00:36:10.600 --> 00:36:13.160 And then maybe 00:36:13.160 --> 00:36:14.200 We need to set down 00:36:14.200 --> 00:36:16.000 Our attitudes 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.660 Of judgment 00:36:16.660 --> 00:36:18.480 To those 00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:19.240 Who would identify 00:36:19.240 --> 00:36:20.120 Themselves 00:36:20.120 --> 00:36:21.940 As lost 00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:23.700 And
