Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from June 7, 2026.
In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul addresses two practical issues that were creating problems in the church: believers taking one another to court and the misuse of sexual freedom. He reminds Christians that God has called His people to live differently, resolving conflicts with wisdom and grace rather than bringing disputes before unbelievers. Paul also warns against lifestyles marked by unrepentant sin, while emphasizing the transforming power of the gospel: “such were some of you,” but through Christ believers have been washed, sanctified, and justified. Turning to the subject of sexual immorality, Paul teaches that our bodies belong to the Lord and are temples of the Holy Spirit. Because believers have been redeemed at the highest price—the blood of Jesus Christ—we are called to honor God with both our bodies and our lives.
