(1 Corinthians 5:1-12) It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality
among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping
with his father’s wife. 2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone
into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been
doing this? 3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with
you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already
passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been
doing this. “So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the
power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the
destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the
Lord. 6Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens
the whole batch of dough? 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a
new unleavened batch-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has
been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread
leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth. 9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually
immoral people - lo not at all meaning the people of this world who are
immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would
have to leave this world. Il But now I am writing to you that you must not
associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually
immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not
even eat with such people. 12 What business is it of mine to judge those
outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those
outside. Expel the wicked person from among you.

True community doesn’t ignore sin-it
Today’s Big Idea: God has designed the church to be a holy community,
not a perfect one-but one where sin is taken seriously, grace is applied
deeply, and lives are transformed
