This week, Pastor Jesse picks it back up in 1 Corinthians 5, where Paul is addressing the issue of immorality within the church, specifically focusing on a case of sexual immorality that was being tolerated among its members. There is an emphasis on the importance of church discipline and the need for purity within the Christian community, urging the church to take action against the immoral behavior. We see the metaphor of leaven, suggesting that just a little sin, if unaddressed, can affect the whole Church Body, and teaches the principle of not associating with those who blatantly sin, to preserve the integrity of the church.
