The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Understanding Our Transformation
Description
Can someone truly claim to be a Christian while continuing in patterns of sin? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 6:7-11, where Paul lists behaviors—from sexual immorality to theft and greed—that characterize the unregenerate life. Paul's shocking conclusion: believers should accept financial loss rather than disgrace Christ's name in court. True salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's liberation from the sins that once dominated us.
The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.
