Unfiltered Church By Ethan Wentzlaff

God stepped down out of heaven. He took on flesh, the son of man, and he he lived a perfect life, and he took all of our sins to the cross, the past, present, and future, and he died. The text says he died in weakness. But praise God that he didn't stay in weakness. Scripture also says he rose in power with the power of God. [00:15:01] (25 seconds)  #FromWeaknessToPower

Are you living in the faith that you claim to be a follower of? Are you living in that? And Paul is calling them to examine whether they truly belong to Christ and whether they are living in the saving reality of the gospel. So the question isn't, do you believe?

Transformed by the Holy Spirit, and if God is working in our lives, there should be fruit. There should be evidence that God is working in us. And once again, not being legalistic, not saying, hey, here's a checklist of everything you should be doing to be a good Christian. That's not what scripture is about.

We should come here and sharpen each other. And yes, that means if if if we spend time in a church family, people will see us at our highs, people will see us at our lows, People will see us in our successes, and people will see us in our worst sins. And we need to be okay with that because that is what it means to be a part of a church, to be a part of an unfiltered church. [00:11:04] (21 seconds)  #SharpenOneAnother

So the Corinthians, the the church of Corinth, because of the super apostles and because of the culture, they had a corrupted view of power. They viewed power as success. They viewed power as influence, as wealth, as public recognition. Power was something that could be put up on a mantle and displayed for everyone to look at. But in God, we see power is is presented differently. [00:14:18] (26 seconds)  #RedefinePower

You in our calling as as as a church, we we get it laid out in the final few verses here.

Yes, to greet one another with a holy kiss. [00:29:58] (22 seconds)  #ChurchAsFamily

We need to clean up the obvious sin because the church of Corinth, they're a great example for us. They swayed off course, and the danger of sin is real. That's our challenge is how do we, as a body of believers, clean up the obvious sin. But then also is is is we we need to talk about the obvious sin, but we also can talk about the sin that we hide.
