Episode Synopsis

This week Pastor Neli explores the importance of both giving and receiving loving correction for spiritual growth.  True grace sometimes involves difficult conversations, like confronting sin, rather than ignoring it.  Confrontation and correction are not unloving acts but are just as important for both individual and communal spiritual maturity.  Honest and loving correction is a vital part of growth, leading us to be the church that walks in holiness and glorifies God.
For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 5:3-5 (ESV)
