Church vs Kingdom of God

Summary

The sermon explores the distinction between the church and the kingdom of God, emphasizing that while the church is a flawed human institution, the kingdom of God represents God's perfect and sovereign rule. Using 1 Corinthians 6, the preacher highlights the church's failures and calls believers to resolve conflicts biblically, following Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18. The message encourages believers to maintain unity and peace within the church, living as if they are part of God's kingdom, and to forgive others as Christ forgave them.
