About this episode
Won't you be my neighbor? The Christians in Corinth were called to be “city lights,” shining the light of Christ in a dark world. So how does your light shine in your neighborhood? This week, we unpack Paul’s seven lenses and ask how Christ would have us treat the people who live next door.
The sermon today is titled "Neighbor Matters." It is the ninth installment in our series "City Lights: Bearing Witness To A Culture In Crisis." The Scripture reading is from 1 Corinthians 10:24-25 (ESV) and the contextual passage is 1 Corinthians 5:9-6:8. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on October 13, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under LEARN: Christian Scripture.
