What if the real test of spiritual maturity shows up in the courtroom and the bedroom? We walk through 1 Corinthians 6 with Pastor Brandon and face two hard truths: the church is called to handle its conflicts with wisdom, and our bodies are not our own—they were bought at a price. That single reality reframes how we treat each other and how we steward desire, pleasure, and freedom.

We start with the shock of believers suing believers before secular courts. Paul’s concern isn’t the legal system; it’s the church’s witness and the neglect of wise, Spirit-led mediation. If we’re destined to judge the world—and even angels—why can’t we resolve everyday disputes with humility and discernment? Sometimes victory looks like absorbing loss for the sake of unity. That’s not weakness; it’s a different kingdom economy where reconciliation outruns retaliation and wisdom outshines pride.

From there, we press into identity. Paul’s sin list isn’t for shaming; it’s a mirror reminding us who we were—and who we are now. “Such were some of you, but you were washed.” The difference between struggling with sin and celebrating it matters. Grace is not a hall pass; it’s the power to change. We talk about freedom that refuses to be mastered and how Christian liberty calls us to love God with our bodies, not just our beliefs. Sexual immorality isn’t merely rule-breaking; it’s self-harm that ignores the soul-deep union sex creates and the sacred dignity God gives to our bodies.

Finally, we define holy sexuality as Scripture frames it: covenant between husband and wife, pursued with fidelity and courage, and honored by those single or married through chastity and integrity. This isn’t about slogans or culture wars; it’s about trust—trusting that God’s design leads to freedom, healing, and joy. You were bought with a price. Let that cost shape how you reconcile with a brother or sister and how you choose what to flee and what to pursue. If this conversation stirred you, share it with a friend, leave a five-star review, and tell us the one insight you’re taking into your week.
