Sermon Discussion | 1st Corinthians: Part 6 - Ch. 4:1-21

In this edition of UBC Sermon Discussions pastor Jason Wing answers questions from his sermon out of 1 Corinthians 4:1-21. 

The main idea for the sermon was: A maturing church learns from the example of the godly, not the wisdom of the worldly.

Questions discussed in this episode:

Q. Can you unpack what Paul is saying in vs. 1—"stewards of the mysteries of God?"

Q. Paul says he does not "even judge myself" — What does this mean when it comes to judging? And does this also mean I shouldn't judge anyone else, including Christians?

Q."Be imitators of me" Paul says. I thought I was only supposed to imitate Christ? Explain what Paul is telling the church here.

Q. Is it acceptable for Christians to present rebuke in the form of a "rod" if needed?

Q. What role does shame play in the life of a Christian? Is shame always a bad thing, or can it be a good thing?

Q. A longtime friend separated ties over COVID vaccination and adherence to extreme liberal ideas. I have a desire to reconnect but am reluctant. How do you handle political leanings in the church body?
