You've Already Had Your Day in Court

Twenty years ago a man cleared out Pastor Nathan's savings account, and there was no way to recover it — no case the police could take, and no church to bring it to, because the man wasn't a believer. The Corinthians had what he didn't: a brotherhood. They went to the courthouse instead.

Preaching from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, Nathan walks through three things that church forgot. Their future, since people who will judge angels ought to manage their own disputes. Their family, since a lawsuit between brothers is already a defeat no matter who wins. And their righteousness.

That last one is the turn. The whole passage is courtrooms and verdicts, and people are seeking their day in court. Paul tells them they have already had it.
