In this episode of Church Is Messy, Rick and Svea tackle one of the most uncomfortable passages in the New Testament: 1 Corinthians 5. They discuss a shocking situation in the Corinthian church where a man was sleeping with his stepmother, and the congregation was doing nothing about it.Rick and Svea explore the tension between creating a church where people feel safe in struggling with sin while still maintaining biblical standards. They unpack what it means to address sin within the church versus judging those outside it, and why Paul's instruction to "hand this man over to Satan" was actually an act of love aimed at restoration.The conversation covers challenging questions like: How do we balance grace and accountability? What's the difference between being judgmental and exercising discernment? And how should Christians engage with cultural issues without becoming the "morality police"?Whether you're wrestling with how to approach sin in your own life or wondering how the church should respond to difficult situations, this episode offers a thoughtful, grace-filled perspective on navigating one of Scripture's messiest passages.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 - Introduction & Overview of 1 Corinthians 5 01:14 - The Situation in Corinth 03:23 - Relevance to Modern Church Life 04:28 - Pastoral Heart & Balancing Grace with Truth 07:26 - "Lowered the Bar, Raised the Standard" 08:50 - Struggling vs. Stubbornly Entrenched in Sin 10:34 - "Who Rules" vs. "What Are the Rules" 12:55 - Addressing Sin Within vs. Outside the Church 14:25 - Wanting Good for Non-Believers Without Being Judgmental 17:03 - Judgment vs. Discernment 19:01 - Christians, Politics & Voting 20:00 - Roe v.

Pastor Paul Petersen preaches on 1 Corinthians 13 at a very special Agape Feast 9:30am worship service Sunday, February 16, 2020.
Preached on Sunday, January 5, 2020The early church practiced the Communion (Lord’s Supper) and the Agape Feast together. Some in the Church of Corinth were not serious in taking communion and became sick or dead apparently because of it. Paul relays the true meaning, purpose, and ministry of the communion as a renewing of the New Covenant and prompting for repentance - a ministry of the vertical dimension. It is different from Agape Feast, which is to practice love and fellowship - a ministry of the horizontal dimension.Please join us in person for worship, fellowship, and study at Abilene Bible Church.Pastor Daiqing Yuan, Ph.D.
