We are continuing our reading through the book of 1 Corinthians this week in Chapter 5! 

Paul is addressing a pretty massive tragedy in the church. Sexual Immorality was not just being allowed, but this church was arrogant about it. They were proud of their tolerance and lacked repentance. 

Here's the thing though, when we give our life to Jesus we give our LIFE to Jesus. Including our Sex life. There should be no area of our life that isn't submitted to the original intention God created it with when we put our faith in Jesus. 

Sex is awesome. We were created with sexual desires. Those desires aren't bad. But we can fulfill those desires in ways that are contrary to how God created us to. THAT is bad. 

Why? Because we carry the image of God. We represent the character of God. With that purpose and calling comes a high expectation and responsibility. 

This church was crippled in their power and authority because they were allowing sin. Paul's solution is to remove this person from their congregation. Both to restore the reputation of the church and to help heal and restore this individual. 

God cares deeply about sex because he created it. Sex is sacred. It holds both biologically necessity while also carrying a greater spiritual reality. We're going to talk about all of this in this episode and continue the discussion forward in the coming episodes as well.
