Christians often wonder where to take their stand in a culture whose values conflict with Scripture. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, where Paul clarifies a crucial distinction: believers are called to engage with sinners in the world, but must not tolerate unrepentant sin among those who claim to follow Christ. We often get this backwards—condemning the world while excusing ourselves. God's mission is for the church to be salt and light, offering the world an attractive alternative rather than a mirror image of its brokenness.

The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.
