Emmanuel Baptist Church - Podcast

In 1 Corinthians 1-4 Paul dealt with the general problem in Corinth, their attachment to human wisdom and human teachers. Beginning in chapter 5 he dealt with specific problems facing the Corinthian church. The specific problem that Paul addressed was an individual act of sexual immorality in the church and the refusal of the church to discipline the offending member. Church discipline is a firm, restorative reminder that we who have died to sin through faith in Jesus cannot continue to live in sin.
