In this message from 1 Corinthians 5, Paul calls the church to take sin seriously—not out of condemnation, but for the sake of restoration. God loves His people too much to leave them as they are. Church discipline, when done rightly, is an act of love that aims to protect the body, restore the sinner, and honor Christ. As we look at Paul’s words, we’re reminded that God calls His church to holiness—not perfection, but a clear pursuit of His heart.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 4, Paul shifts the focus back to what true leadership looks like in the body of Christ. Instead of performance, appearance, or status, Paul highlights faithfulness and humility. He reminds the Corinthian believers—and us—that leaders in the church are not celebrities but servants and stewards. Their job is to be faithful with what God has entrusted to them. Paul’s challenge is clear: follow those who follow Christ.

This message calls us to examine not just who we follow, but how we live. Are we aiming for applause or alignment with Christ? Are we prioritizing biblical truth or public image? Let’s learn to follow well—imitating Christ in both heart and action.
