Rev. Christopher Gillespie, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church, Random Lake, WI joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 1 Corinthians 5.

Sexual immorality is a common sin today, but it was no less pervasive back in the first century. Corinth was known for its loose morals, and some pretty grievous behavior had crept into the Corinthian congregation. The Holy Spirit inspired St. Paul to admonish the Corinthians with a simple command: do not associate with such people and remove them from the congregation. Was Paul telling them to give up on these wayward Christians? No. Rather, he wanted it clear that such behavior is unacceptable to God. Paul hoped such people would repent. In this episode, Pastors Booe and Gillespie contemplate just how bad these sexual sins were and the role of Church discipline then and today.
