Why Are You Suing Your Brother?

What happens when the church stops looking like the church? Imagine two Christians who once sang side-by-side on Sunday now facing off like enemies in a courtroom on Monday. That’s exactly what was happening in Corinth — and it broke Paul’s heart. In 1 Corinthians 6:1–11, Paul challenges believers who were airing their dirty laundry before a watching world. But this isn’t just ancient Corinth’s problem — it’s ours too.

In this message, we’ll explore why public disputes between Christians damage our witness, dishonor Christ, and reveal that we’ve forgotten who we are in Him. We’ll see how the gospel calls us to a radically different way of handling conflict — one marked by humility, reconciliation, and a deep commitment to unity in the body of Christ.

You’ll be challenged to ask:

✅ Am I more concerned with being right or being reconciled?

✅ Do my actions point people to Jesus, or push them away?

✅ How does remembering my identity in Christ change the way I handle conflict?

Come hear how Paul points us to a better way — a gospel-shaped way — of responding to wrongs, disappointments, and disputes. Let’s rediscover together what it means to live as the forgiven, the washed, the justified people of God.
