Our Future Reign and Past Redemption Changes Our Present Relationships
Manage episode 419907887 series 2469067
This morning we continued in our current series, Christian Living In The Current of Culture, an exposition of 1 Corinthians. This sermon titled “Our Future Reign and Past Redemption Changes Our Present Relationships” is from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 and was preached by a guest preacher, Pastor Alex Duke from Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, KY.
In chapter six, the Apostle Paul moves into pointing out how wrong it is that the Corinthians are taking each other to court because some Christians are cheating other Christians. Paul is saying that rather than suing each other it would be better to be cheated. This is because a church that fails to deal with its internal conflicts loses its ability to stand out and to speak up in a fractured, disunified, and litigious world. Paul points out that because God will use his people to one day help in judging the angels they can now begin deciding trivial matters rather than taking these matters to civil courts. Finally, Paul reminds them that their past redemption is what qualifies them to now decide matters of importance. They have been washed, sanctified, and justified by the Lord Jesus. This is the impetus of how to cut out the root of the petty sin we struggle with. Remember what Jesus has done for you!
