We\u2019ve made it all the way to chapter 5 in 1 Corinthians, which means we\u2019re at the first major turning point in the letter. So far, we\u2019ve seen how the Corinthians\u2019 selfishness and devotion to their culture has brought division in the church. They\u2019ve prioritized comfort, power, and loyalty to certain leaders over caring for each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we move into chapter 5, we\u2019ll see that the core issue among the Corinthian people is still the same. They\u2019re still self-centered. We\u2019ll find out how their selfishness infected the church in more than one area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul tackles a specific problem within the church in this chapter\u2014sexual sin. While we might be tempted to brush this chapter off as only applying to that ancient church, we\u2019ll see that it\u2019s more relevant to us than we might think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paul argues that Christians should take habitual sins seriously because not only are they toxic to us as individuals, they\u2019re also toxic to the church. That\u2019s what we\u2019ll unpack in this session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us turn to 1 Corinthians 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1<\/sup>I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you\u2014something that even pagans don\u2019t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. 2<\/sup>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<\/sup>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<\/sup>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<\/sup>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<\/sup>Your boasting about this is terrible. Don\u2019t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough? 7<\/sup>Get rid of the old \u201cyeast\u201d 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<\/sup>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<\/sup>When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. 10<\/sup>But I wasn\u2019t 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<\/sup>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\u2019t even eat with such people. 12<\/sup>It isn\u2019t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13<\/sup>God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, \u201cYou must remove the evil person from among you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
We live in a sexualized culture. So much so that the church has started to have the same attitude towards sex as those outside Christianity. We can look a lot like the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same was true for the Corinthian church\u2014but to a worse degree. Not only were they accepting sexual practices that were outside God\u2019s boundaries, but they were also praising a man for incest. They were tolerating a kind of relationship that even pagans rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The church didn\u2019t just resemble the world. It was worse than it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week\u2019s study in 1 Corinthians 5 will ask us to confront the sin in us and in the church. We\u2019re not always used to tackling sin head-on in the way Paul describes in this chapter. But before we go any further, let\u2019s ask why. Why do we avoid confronting sin? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe because it\u2019s unpopular in our society to tell someone that what they\u2019re doing is wrong. We\u2019re told to tolerate people and their choices. Confronting sin in another Christian is also risky. It could cost you a friendship. It could be painful. It could also mean giving other people permission to confront your own sin. And that\u2019s scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you feel about letting other Christians confront you about your sin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are you risking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve already allowed other Christians to do that, how did you respond the first time? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels safer to let sin lurk in our lives and the lives of other Christians. That way, no one has to really know us and we don\u2019t look intolerant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as Paul said, we can\u2019t afford to let sin roam free. We have to deal with it. Not just for the sake of the people outside of Christianity looking in, but also for the sake of each other. Living the backward-to-the-world life Jesus invites us into means we\u2019re members of a new family. And we need to take care of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point of this week\u2019s study isn\u2019t to leave us wallowing in our sin. Whenever we confront sin in our lives, it should draw us closer to Jesus who died to free us from that very sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let’s start this week by spending a few minutes praising Jesus for what He\u2019s done for you through his life, death, and resurrection. Listen to a worship song, journal a prayer, or simply spend a few minutes in silence with God. What would you want to say to God about His rescuing you from sin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to the book of 1 Corinthians. As we study this letter, we\u2019ll step into ancient Corinth while reading the words Paul wrote to the fledgling church. We\u2019re going to see that, like all churches, the Corinthian church wasn\u2019t perfect. They had a problem. A big problem. And it grew to such an epic proportion that it poisoned the church in various ways. Paul wrote to provide the antidote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this study, we\u2019re going to explore Paul\u2019s solution to both the problems in Corinth and in us. Through his words, we\u2019ll learn more about Jesus\u2019s plan for a people who live radically different lives than the world around them. But we\u2019ll also take a hard look in the mirror and ask the Spirit to point out our own self-centered attitudes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading the Bible isn\u2019t just something we do to impress people or to check off on a to-do list. It\u2019s about getting to know God. It\u2019s about shaping every minute of our lives to reflect Jesus. It\u2019s about thinking differently in the power of the Spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So as we approach each week, we\u2019ll focus on one main idea. That main idea will point us to change how we think, feel, and act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, we\u2019ll see that resolving relational disunity begins in our hearts because division is a symptom of self-focus. From this main idea, we have three goals: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- We want to understand that selfishness has dire consequences, both in the local church and in us as individuals. <\/li>
- We want to feel motivated to reject selfishness and embrace a life that\u2019s Christ-and-others-centered. <\/li>
- We want to identify and turn away from the ways we\u2019re holding on to selfishness.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
First Corinthians will take us on a journey. We\u2019ll look at the struggles of one of the first local churches in all of history. We\u2019ll see that the Corinthians weren\u2019t much different from us. And we\u2019ll realize that Paul\u2019s words to them still ring true today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before we jump into 1 Corinthians, spend a few minutes writing out a short prayer to God. Ask him to use this study to change you. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open up your Bible to 1 Corinthians. Go ahead and read the entire first chapter. As you read, ask yourself this question: What was the problem in the Corinthian church?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 1:1\u201331 (ESV): <\/p>
1\u00a0Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,
2\u00a0To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
3\u00a0Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4\u00a0I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 5\u00a0that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge\u2014 6\u00a0even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you\u2014 7\u00a0so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8\u00a0who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9\u00a0God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10\u00a0I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 11\u00a0For it has been reported to me by Chloe\u2019s people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. 12\u00a0What I mean is that each one of you says, \u201cI follow Paul,\u201d or \u201cI follow Apollos,\u201d or \u201cI follow Cephas,\u201d or \u201cI follow Christ.\u201d 13\u00a0Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14\u00a0I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15\u00a0so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16\u00a0(I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17\u00a0For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18\u00a0For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19\u00a0For it is written, <\/p>\u201cI will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.\u201d<\/p>
20\u00a0Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21\u00a0For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22\u00a0For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23\u00a0but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24\u00a0but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25\u00a0For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.<\/p>
26\u00a0For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27\u00a0But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28\u00a0God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29\u00a0so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30\u00a0And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31\u00a0so that, as it is written, \u201cLet the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Corinthian church suffered from division. We\u2019ll see it all throughout the book. The struggling church fought over leadership, spiritual gifts, food, marriage, and theology. Since the theme of disunity runs throughout the letter, it\u2019s tempting to think that was the church\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it wasn\u2019t. Disunity was only a symptom of a far more insidious\u2014and common\u2014 disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you catch the real issue that was going on in Corinth? It was selfishness. They were so consumed with themselves that they tried to solve their problems their own way, held on to their culture, and, as a result, blasted chasms between them and other Christians.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one likes to admit to selfishness\u2014 especially people who claim to follow Jesus. But it often sneaks into our lives in ways we don\u2019t readily see. And then it spills over in ways we never expect. For the Corinthians, their selfishness led to severe divisions in the church. What is it for us? We\u2019ll spend the rest of the study unpacking that very question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that we know the main problem Paul\u2019s tackling in 1 Corinthians, take a moment to be honest with God. Write down any fears or concerns you have about confronting the problem of selfishness. Ask God to use this study to turn your gaze to him.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
