“Where Wrongs Are to be Righted!” 1 Corinthians 6:1-11

Have you ever been wronged for something that was right Have you ever been wronged for something that was right? A Barbara Cooper thinks she has and is a bit upset…

…A prohibition is given to all Christians – not to settle any differences amongst themselves in courts of heathen judges…

I Don’t Forget the RESPONSI- BILITY Before Us (vv 2-4) A. The Saints Shall Judge the World

Basic teaching in Scripture is that saints of Christ shall judge the world: Daniel 7:18-22; Psalm 49:14; Revelation 2:26; 3:21; 20:4

krinw (judge) Present: saints of Christ who rightly handle the Word “judge” the world presently (Hebrews 11:7) Future: saints of Christ will reign with Him ruling/judging righteously (Matthew 12:41)

I Don’t Forget the RESPONSI- BILITY Before Us (vv 2-4) A. The Saints Shall Judge the World B. The Saints Shall Judge Angels C. An Argument from Major to Minor

J. W. McGarvey (author, preacher, teacher of Restoration Movement) “If called on as a church to judge any matter, would you choose your least competent? I ask you this to make you ashamed, for you do even more foolishly when you submit your cases to worldlings, who are even less competent judges.” J. W. McGarvey (author, preacher, teacher of Restoration Movement)

II Don’t Overlook RESOURCES Amongst Us (vv 5-6) A. God Has Equipped the Church

Ephesians 4:11-16 12

II Don’t Overlook RESOURCES Amongst Us (vv 5-6) A. God Has Equipped the Church B. Human Law is Limited

3 Things Happen When Brother Takes Brother to Court: 1. It harms the church’s influence… 2. It harms the brother’s relationship with his brothers/sisters in Christ... 3. It harms the brother’s relationship with God…

III Don’t Betray the CALLING Given to Us (vv 7-8) A. Called to be Saints

They may have been winning lawsuits but at a terrible expense… It’s a no win situation when brother takes brother to court!

III Don’t Betray the CALLING Given to Us (vv 7-8) A. Called to be Saints B. Called to Take Wrong

1 Peter 2:23 “And while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously.” 18

IV Don’t Deny the POWER Within Us (vv 9-11) A. Remember Who We Were B. Remember Who We Are

That same husband’s granddaughter/son can take a fist full of dandelions and accomplish the same thing and probably more!

Conclusion and Summary …Nothing against judges and attorneys as a whole, but to be honest, I have a whole lot more confidence in the saints of God making wiser and better judgments. After all, it’s the Lord’s Church where all wrongs will be righted!
