The Wisdom of God or the Wisdom of the Age?

Send us a text Christians suing one another? It happened in Corinth—and still happens today. But what if the gospel actually gives us a better way? This week’s message explores a hard but liberating truth: you are not what you were. ------ In this message from 1 Corinthians 6:1–11, Pastor Paul Lawler addresses how believers should handle conflict—not with lawsuits or public accusations, but with the wisdom and reconciliation of Christ. Paul rebukes the Corinthian church for taking fellow Christians to secular courts over civil matters. Instead, he calls them to remember who they are and whose they are: saints who will one day reign with Christ and judge angels. The sermon outlines Jesus’ biblical model for resolving conflict (Matthew 18), explores the difference between sin and crime, and dives into three Greek words for forgiveness that bring healing and freedom. Pastor Paul ends with a powerful reminder: no matter your past, you are not what you were. You’ve been washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ. HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN
