254. Paul Condemns Spiritual Pride

254.


Immorality Rebuked

1.

Today's Passage: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


Thank You for meeting us, LORD.

1. I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you⏤something that even pagans don't do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother.
2. You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.

3. Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit. And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man
4. in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church. I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus.
5. Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

6. Your boasting about this is terrible. Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!
7. Get rid of the old "yeast" by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
8. So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread of sincerity and truth.

9. When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.
10. But I wasn't talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that.
11. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people.

12. It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You  must remove the evil person from among you."
1 Corinthians 5:1-13 NLT

20th strategy.
And What Do I Do With That?

  • Open your heart in prayer.
  • Ask God to give you wisdom from His Scripture.
  • Read the passage.
  • Re-read the passage.
  • Are there hard realities addressed in the passage?
  • Ask God to give you the ability to see people through His eyes.
  • Ask God to give you the ability to love people as He loves them.
  • Give God the permission to change your mind, your heart, and your words.
  • Realize that no matter where you stand, you are being molded.
  • Bring your heart back to the Father and pray for those you love.
  • Remember to thank God for His answers.

3.

Here we are God.
Frail and weak.
Help us know what to do.
In Your name we pray,
Amen.


4.

Thank you for being here.
Please leave your initials and leave a comment if you are led.

I am so excited that we are moving through the scriptures and not skirting the hard stuff.

Loving God is our goal.
Getting to know Him and how we live our lives to praise and glorify Him
And with nothing else before Him, how we become better disciples.

And remember,
I pray for you every day.
And I will be back here tomorrow,
I hope I will see you here too.

Tough stuff - we live in a world of immorality and a world of pain
A world that reminds me of the old testament in more and more ways with the depravity of man.
God but for you and your design
Jesus
Salvation

Holy Spirit
Eternity
Redemption
