The Cost of Being Right // 1 Cor. 6:1-11

Have you ever wondered what happens when our desire to be right collides with our call to reflect Christ? Pastor Evan tackles this tension in 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, he reveals how the Corinthian church's habit of taking believers to secular courts exposed a deeper spiritual crisis. Pastor Evan challenges the common instinct to seek vindication through worldly means, reminding us that as believers, we're called to pursue spiritual solutions and reconciliation over retribution. His unique perspective emphasizes that our response to being wronged isn't just about conflict resolution, it's a declaration of which kingdom we truly belong to. The message resonates deeply with today's culture of litigation and cancel culture, calling believers to remember their transformed identity in Christ. Pastor Evan concludes with a powerful challenge: while secular courts can settle disputes, only the cross can transform hearts.
