Sermon on March 16, 2025
No Cheap Seats in God’s Kingdom
Time: Evening
Texts: 1 Corinthians 6:1–11, Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 32
Discipleship comes at a cost—there are no discount tickets in God’s kingdom. In this sermon, pastor Taylor unpacks 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, where Paul rebukes the Corinthians for treating grace as if it were cheap, living no differently than the world. He calls them to three realities: 1. Suffer Wrong for Peace – True disciples prioritize unity over personal rights, following Christ’s example of humility. 2. Be Warned of Judgment – Cheap grace is an illusion; unrepentant sin is incompatible with the kingdom of God. 3. Remember Your Washing – We are not who we once were. The gospel transforms us, calling us to live as those bought with a price. Grace is free but never cheap. Join us as we unpack the costly call of following Christ.
