  • Discipline Isn't Rejection—It's Rescue | 1 Corinthians 5:3-5

    Discipline Isn't Rejection—It's Rescue | 1 Corinthians 5:3-5
    2026/02/16
    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 5:3-5. Few passages in Scripture hit as hard as this one. Paul doesn't soften his tone, negotiate with sin, or try to appease the emotions of the Corinthian church. He issues a clear and urgent verdict. For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. — 1 Corinthians 5:3–5 Paul knows that this situation isn't just unhealthy—it's spiritually destructive. The sin is so entrenched, and the man so unrepentant, that drastic action is required. This is immediate and urgent spiritual surgery. What does "deliver this man to Satan" actually mean? Paul isn't calling for torture or physical harm. He isn't asking the church to ruin this man's life. He's calling for something far more purposeful: removal from the protection and fellowship of the church so he experiences the full weight of his sin. Inside the church, the man enjoys spiritual covering, truth, prayer, and community. Outside the church, he feels the consequences of his rebellion without the shelter he had taken for granted. "The destruction of the flesh" refers to breaking down his sinful nature—not destroying his soul. Paul's goal is restoration, not ruin. The goal is always redemption: "that his spirit may be saved." Sometimes, the only path to saving a person is allowing them to feel the emptiness and pain of life apart from God. It's the same pattern we see in the prodigal son: consequences awaken repentance and a "coming to his senses." So why don't churches discipline like this anymore? Two reasons: 1. Fear of "church hurt." Pastors are often afraid to confront sin out of fear they'll be labeled harsh, judgmental, or unloving. But avoiding discipline doesn't protect anyone. It leaves people stuck. 2. Cultural understanding of love (compassion). Our culture equates love with affirmation. Many Christians have embraced this belief, assuming that confronting another's sin is unloving and judgmental. But Scripture teaches the opposite. Love tells the truth. Love corrects. Love rescues. In many churches today, the real scandal isn't that sin exists—it's that believers lack the courage to call sin what God has already called it. Removing discipline removes one of God's strongest tools for spiritual rescue. Discipline isn't rejection—it's rescue. God's discipline is not punishment; it's protection. Scripture also tells us: "The Lord disciplines the one he loves." (Hebrews 12:6) Discipline is never God turning His back on you. It's God refusing to let you destroy yourself. Church discipline, when done biblically, cuts in order to heal. It exposes in order to restore. It protects the body and saves the sinner. Don't despise discipline. Don't reject it. Receive it as grace. Because the only thing worse than being disciplined by God is being left alone in your sin. DO THIS: Ask God to reveal one area where you've resisted discipline or correction. Submit it to Him. Invite a trusted believer to help you walk toward healing. ASK THIS: Why do I avoid correction even when I know it protects me?Where have I confused love with affirmation?How can I receive discipline as a blessing instead of a burden? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for loving me enough to discipline me. Cut away what corrupts me. Remove what destroys me. Give me a humble heart that welcomes Your correction so I can be healed and restored. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Even When It Hurts"

  • Holiness Isn't Harsh. Holiness Is Healing. | 1 Corinthians 5:1-2

    Holiness Isn't Harsh. Holiness Is Healing. | 1 Corinthians 5:1-2
    2026/02/15

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day.

    Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video.

    Our text today is 1 Corinthians 5:1-2.

    The sin in Corinth wasn't subtle, hidden, or debatable. It was so scandalous that even the surrounding pagan culture was shocked by it. Paul writes:

    It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. — 1 Corinthians 5:1–2

    Paul cannot believe what he's hearing. A man in the church is committing sexual sin that even unbelievers reject, and instead of grieving over it, the church is arrogant about its tolerance. This is not just a Corinth problem—it's a problem in today's church as well.

    Sexual sin is no longer shocking in the culture, but the deeper issue is that it's no longer shocking in the church. Porn has become normalized. Cohabitation is assumed. Adultery is reframed as emotional escape. Lust is dismissed as human nature. Same‑sex behavior is being affirmed rather than confronted by churches that are more focused on appearing compassionate than being holy. We are treating as normal what God calls destructive.

    This is where Paul's words cut through our excuses. The church is never more vulnerable than when it stops being distinct. And if we lose our distinction, we lose our witness. We cannot rescue a world we're trying to resemble. Believers today must reclaim what Corinth forgot: holiness isn't harsh—holiness is healing.

    Calling sin what it is doesn't crush people; it frees them. Truth is not the enemy of compassion; truth is what makes compassion meaningful. Love doesn't celebrate what destroys people; love confronts what destroys people so they can be restored.

    If we stay silent, people stay trapped. If we stay passive, people stay wounded. If we tolerate what God calls sin, we slowly become a church shaped by culture instead of by Scripture.

    This moment demands courage. Courage to grieve what God grieves. Courage to stand for truth when it's unpopular. Courage to gently persuade others toward the life God blesses. Courage to be different in a world that demands sameness.

    We cannot change hearts, but we can point to the One who does. We cannot force holiness, but we can model it with conviction and compassion. You don't persuade people by blending in; you persuade them by living what they desperately need.

    This is why Paul urges the church to mourn rather than shrug, to confront rather than ignore, and to lead rather than imitate. The church must be the place where truth restores—not where sin hides.

    DO THIS:

    Ask God to reveal any area of sexual compromise or complacency in your life. Confess it honestly, and commit to helping others walk in truth with humility and courage.

    ASK THIS:

    1. Have I become numb to sexual sin—in myself or in the church?
    2. Where have I stayed silent when I should have stood for truth?
    3. How can I lovingly help someone move toward holiness?

    PRAY THIS:

    Father, open my eyes to anything that mirrors the world instead of Christ. Give me courage to stand for truth—even when it's costly—and compassion to help others walk in it. Make me a voice of clarity and a vessel of restoration. Amen.

  • Faithful Not Famous | 1 Corinthians 4

    Faithful Not Famous | 1 Corinthians 4
    2026/02/15

    Fame is loud. Faithfulness is quiet. God only measures one.

    Summary:

    What does real leadership look like when you strip away applause, opinions, and platforms? In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul confronts a culture obsessed with evaluation and reminds the church that God isn't looking for celebrities—he's looking for faithful stewards. This chapter calls us to stop chasing approval, stop sitting in the judge's seat, and start living for the only commendation that lasts.

    Reflection & Small Group Discussion Questions:

    1. When you think about leadership, what metrics tend to matter most to you—and why?

    2. Where do you feel the pressure to seek approval instead of obedience?

    3. How does Paul's description of leaders as "servants and stewards" challenge modern leadership culture?

    4. What's the difference between being successful and being faithful in God's eyes?

    5. Why do you think Paul says it's a "small thing" to be judged by others—or even by himself?

    6. In what ways do we unintentionally play the judge with people's motives or ministries?

    7. How does the phrase "You receive, not achieve" confront pride in your life?

    8. Why is it tempting to expect comfort, recognition, or applause in ministry or service?

    9. What does fatherly leadership look like in real life—at home, church, or work?

    10. If God evaluated your life today, where would faithfulness be clearly visible?
