Welcome

What should a Christian do when wronged by another believer? In today’s episode, we explore Paul’s surprisingly radical teaching in 1 Corinthians 6 about how Christians are to approach conflict, especially when it involves legal disputes.

We’re reminded that our calling isn’t just to win in court, but to walk in the way of Christ — even if that means choosing to be wronged for the sake of unity, witness, and love.

In This Episode

• Should Christians take other believers to court?
• Why Paul sees this as a defeat, not a victory
• The role of arbitration within the church
• A bold question: “Why not rather be wronged?”
• Identity over victory — living as the washed, sanctified, and justified

Key Takeaway

This is a call to live out our identity as the people of God. Sometimes the most Christlike thing we can do is to lay down our rights and pick up the cross.
