Episode Synopsis
Saints Suing Saints — 1 Corinthians 6:1–11 What happens when believers drag each other into court? In Corinth, Christians were taking their disputes before pagan judges, and Paul rebukes them sharply for it. Instead of pursuing reconciliation, they were pursuing victory—at any cost.In this message, we’ll learn:Why Paul distinguishes between civil matters and criminal matters, and why this passage is not an excuse to cover up serious sinHow the Roman legal system exposed selfish motives and often corrupted justiceWhy the church is competent to help mediate disputes between believers, using God’s Word and Spirit-given wisdomHow temporal “losses” are reframed in light of our eternal inheritance in ChristPaul reminds us of our true identity—we are washed, sanctified, and justified in Jesus. That means we don’t live for vengeance or self-gain, but for peace, reconciliation, and faithfulness to the Lord.
