1 Corinthians 5:9-13
The sermon emphasizes the importance of not tolerating unrepentant sin within the church, referencing 1 Corinthians 5:9-13. It critiques the arrogance of excusing sin under the guise of tolerance and misinterpretations of judgment. Paul urges the church to separate from those claiming to be believers while living immorally, as their presence corrupts the body of Christ. However, he clarifies that believers must still engage with the world to spread the Gospel, not withdraw entirely. The sermon stresses church discipline, emphasizing removal as a means of redemption, not punishment, and calls for Christians to uphold holiness, disciple one another, and actively evangelize while avoiding sinful influences.
