Session 3: Lifestyle: Sexual immorality and court cases
Rev Dr Lim Kar Yong
Paul devotes four chapters in 1 Corinthians addressing the issue of disunity in the church.
Do you think the issues of sexual immorality (a kind that pagan even could not tolerate is taking place in the church) and lawsuits among the Corinthians would have compromised the witness of the church in the world? Why do you say so?
Think about our church today. What are some of the sins you think the church is tolerating today that may have compromised our Christian witness to the world?
Paul instructed the Corinthian church to carry out church discipline towards the brother who sinned sexually. Do you think there is a place for church discipline today? If yes, how should the church exercise church discipline? If no, how can the church correct what is morally wrong in the lives of the brothers and sisters in Christ?
