Immorality In The Church (Sermon Only) - 1 Corinthians 5 - Aligned - Pastor Jason Fritz

Sometimes it's hard to believe the evil things people are capable of doing. Can you imagine those things happening in the church? Sadly, it does happen. When a church allows itself to be shaped by the world's culture, it will become lax about sin within its walls. Left unchecked, flagrant sin will destroy the individual and infect the whole church. In his letter to the church in Corinth the Apostle Paul explains why moral absolutes and church discipline are vital for the good of the individual as well as the church family, even though the church may be labelled judgmental and intolerant.

The fact is, we all walk around sinning all the time. The difference is repentance. We don’t want Satan to tear us apart and loving confrontation is the means used to bring about repentance, forgiveness and restoration - this is the ultimate goal. Churches don’t often do this when necessary because they don’t take the protective power of the church seriously. It’s like being exposed to radiation. The only way to protect yourself is to enter the fallout shelter. When sin is tolerated in the church it’s like bringing radiation inside where others are affected.

The world is waiting to see a church that that takes sin seriously and shows the power of the gospel in all its forms. Let’s not be like those churches that stay away from sinners and tolerate unrepentant sin. Be gracious with sinners in house and reach those not in the house.
