From the Pulpit...

After reading Matthew 15, Pastor Postiff taught through 1 Corinthians 5, with a focus on verses 9 to 13. There, we learn that God judges those who are outside the church, but the church itself is tasked with the responsibility of judging those who are inside the church. That judgment, in context, has to do with removing those who are living in sin so that the church maintains its purity. A real challenge with this text is how to implement the "not even to eat with such a person."
