The Hard Truth of Church Discipline | Faith Forward Clips

In this Faith Forward Clip, Pastor Micah Stephens & Garrett Backstrom explore 1 Corinthians 5:9-12, where Paul instructs believers not to associate with those who claim to be Christians but live in unrepentant sin, such as sexual immorality, idolatry, or drunkenness. They emphasize that while non-believers are not held to the same standard, those within the church who profess faith but act contrary to biblical values should be lovingly confronted. The discussion outlines a Spirit-led approach to addressing sin, stressing biblical literacy, obedience to God’s word (John 14:15), and the importance of maintaining a holy standard. If the individual remains unrepentant, the speakers advocate for distancing oneself to preserve the church’s witness, while still praying for their repentance.
