The Apostle Paul, however, faced the problem head on and left us timeless advice for this necessary practice. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores Paul's commands for dealing with sin in the church.

Looking at 1 Corinthians 5, he reflects on the difference between failure and unrepentance, and why Christian community is called to hold both truth and grace together. Ultimately, this sermon points us to the mercy of Jesus — the Passover Lamb who welcomes sinners and calls us into transformed lives.

2nd Corinthians 2:1-11,compare 1st Corinthians 5:1-7

What does the Bible say about confronting disobedience within the church? Pastor Richard Caldwell unpacks the biblical mandate for handling unrepentant sin, explaining the process of Matthew 18 to seek restoration and protect the congregation.

What does the Bible say about confronting open rebellion against God, and how should a faithful congregation respond? Dealing with unrepentant sin is a vital aspect of sound ecclesiology that aims not at vindictive punishment, but at the spiritual rescue of a straying believer. By carefully applying the principles found in Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5, faithful elders can recognize the signs of hardened disobedience and act with profound godly love. This solemn duty requires the church to uphold the inerrant authority of God's Word, demonstrating that Scripture must be actively obeyed to protect the spiritual purity and glorious witness of Christ's bride.

Alan Chambers — former president of Exodus International — was recently arrested in what authorities describe as a child enticement sting operation. In this video, we respond to the news with both truth and grace, discussing sin, compromise, repentance, and the importance of gospel hope.This conversation also addresses how stories like this are often used in broader cultural debates surrounding sexuality, faith, and transformation in Christ. Rather than celebrating someone's downfall, Christians are called to pray, remain vigilant against sin, and point people toward the redeeming power of Jesus.Topics covered:-The history of Exodus International-Alan Chambers' theological shift over the years-The destructive nature of unrepentant sin-How Christians should respond biblically-Why gospel hope still matters-Ministries and testimonies of transformation in ChristJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#Christianity #Repentance #Truth

Paul reminds us that ignoring sin weakens the church, but loving accountability leads to restoration. Church discipline isn’t about shame, it’s about calling each other back to truth, holiness, and healing.

Jürgen von Hagen, pastor and former professor of economics at the University of Bonn, again joins OOOM to discuss pacifism, military conscription, and the impact of global economics on the spread of democracy around the world. How should Christians serve their governments during times of war? How should peace be pursued—by ignoring conflicts, by making every nation a medium-sized power, by hegemony, by regime change and the installation of democracy?

Send a textThis sermon examines the intricate dynamics between the Apostle Paul and the Corinthian church as seen in 2 Corinthians 1:12 to 2:13. The Apostle Paul discusses his sincere intentions and the integrity of his ministry, emphasizing clarity in communication rooted in God's grace. The historical context reveals misunderstandings regarding his travel plans, motivating his decision to withhold visits to spare the church further pain. Paul addresses accusations about his reliability, defending his integrity tied to Christ's promises.As he navigates emotional challenges, Paul highlights the interplay of love and joy within the church, urging forgiveness as crucial for spiritual health. He encourages the Corinthians to reflect on their responses to conflict, advocating for grace over judgment. We're empowered to embody love, forgiveness, and reconciliation, reminding both the Corinthian church and modern congregations of their mission to live out Christ's grace in fostering unity.HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

What does Scripture teach about church membership and church discipline? Does the New Testament assume believers should be members of a local church? You can watch this message here.

In Week 4 of Gospel People, we step into one of the most defining (and hardest) marks of Christian community: forgiveness. From 2 Corinthians 1:12–2:4, Paul shows us that gospel-shaped relationships don't avoid conflict, pretend pain isn't real, or retreat into bitterness. Instead, forgiveness brings us face to face—with each other, with the reality of sin, and with the grace of Jesus. We'll see how forgiveness outwits Satan's schemes to isolate and divide, and how it makes the church smell like Jesus to a world that's desperate for something better than condemnation or avoidance.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this episode of Straight Bible on Nephilim Death Squad, the hosts walk carefully through Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 5, and Matthew 19 to address one of the most controversial issues facing the modern church: sexual sin, repentance, church discipline, and biblical authority.This is not culture-war commentary.This is Scripture interpreting Scripture.Using Paul's letters and the words of Jesus Himself, the discussion examines where the church draws lines, how discipline is meant to restore—not destroy—and why tolerance without truth ultimately corrupts the body of Christ. The episode also addresses modern backlash, shock-value theology, and why letting ideas be heard does not mean endorsing them.Topics covered include:Romans 1 and societal judgment vs individual repentanceSexual sin and church discipline in 1 Corinthians 5Why “tolerance” is not a biblical virtueDelivering someone “to Satan” explainedRepentance, restoration, and returning to fellowshipMarriage, covenant, and God's designWhy doctrine must come from Scripture—not reactionThis episode is a measured, text-driven conversation meant to bring clarity where emotions and culture often take over.Straight Bible _ Discussion

This is season 5. In this episode, Mike Charleston is joined with his wife Sarah, and Chuck Tate is back. Church discipline is one of the most misunderstood and neglected practices in the modern church. In this episode, we take a biblical look at what church discipline is, what it isn't, and why it matters for the health of the church and the restoration of believers. We discuss common objections, the Matthew 18 process, the difference between accountability and judgment, and how discipline—when done biblically—is an act of love, not punishment. Elisabeth asks questions to Mike and Sarah. Sarah has her song of the week.If you want to ask a question or make a comment:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Talk@fellowshipofbelievers.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or record a voice message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/mike-charleston/messag⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah's new book⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"You Can Run in Flip-Flops, But Is That the Best Way"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the website at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fellowshipofbelievers.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To watch Every Step go here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh8dX0VUPJw&t=s&ab_channel=RebekahCharleston⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or watch it here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the show on:Apple, Spotify, Anchor, Breaker, Google, Pocket Cast, RadioPublic, Audible, and now on YouTube
