When to Go to Court (1 Corinthians 6)

The Wisdom Journey with Stephen Davey

In this episode, we delve into 1 Corinthians 6, where Paul addresses the issue of Christians taking their disputes to secular courts. The Corinthian church is at risk of damaging its testimony and credibility due to internal lawsuits. Paul urges believers to handle grievances within the church and provides compelling reasons for this approach. He emphasizes that legal battles between Christians contradict their future roles, harm their testimony, and are inconsistent with their distinctive calling. Through this teaching, we learn the importance of humility, unity, and reflecting Christ-like character in resolving conflicts.
