This message jumps forward in 1 Corinthians to chapter five. Church leaders must sometimes do more than issue warnings and encourage the down-hearted. Paul challenges the Corinthians in two practical cases: winking at a shameful pattern of adultery and unbelieving judges rather than wise counselors in the church to settle disputes. The apostle offers a perspective, not only on these specific problems, but also on how leaders should engage the flock when difficult problems are at stake.
