1 Corinthians 11:17,22 -Refined As Gold- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2024-07-21
Pastor Rick Beaudry reads 1 Corinthians 11:17,22 and unpacks why God allows division in the church, saying divisions serve to rebuke the rebellious, refine the righteous, and restore the reproached. He identifies common causes of schism as anarchy, agendas, ambition and animosity, and shows how factionalism can corrupt fellowship, even turning agape feasts and communion into occasions of shame. Warning against politicizing faith or elevating political leaders into messiah figures, he urges open rebuke of sin, patient restoration, and letting trials purify like fire so the approved are made manifest. He calls us to abide in Christ, practice quick reconciliation and love one another so the church’s witness to the world remains credible.
