But Wait, There's More

This message dives into 1 Corinthians 6 and Paul's ongoing correction of the church at Corinth -- a church that had allowed the culture around it to shape it rather than the other way around. Paul addressed two connected issues: believers taking one another to secular courts over disputes that could and should be settled within the body of Christ, and the ongoing danger of sexual immorality and unrighteous living among those who claim the name of Jesus. The overarching question Paul presses upon every believer is this -- does your life show evidence of genuine salvation? True conversion produces visible change. We have been washed, sanctified, and justified. That is not merely religious language. It is the reality of what the cross accomplished for those who have truly surrendered to Christ. Because of that, our bodies, our choices, and our desires are no longer our own. We were bought with a price, and we are called to glorify God in how we live.
