LECCIÓN 4: EL PECADO EN LA IGLESIA

How should the church act when one of its members persists in sin? Is correction a lack of love, or does silence make us complicit? In *Lesson 4: Sin in the Church**, Pastor Mario Rondón and Pastor Emmanuel Alberty analyze the teachings of **1 Corinthians 5 and 6* on Christian discipline, sexual immorality, conflicts among believers, and the transformative power of the gospel. The Bible teaches that sin should not be ignored, but neither should it be dealt with through humiliation, recklessness, or a desire for revenge. All correction should be done with love, firmness, tact, and with the purpose of restoring the person. In this study you will learn: ✅ How to correct a brother or sister without destroying them. ✅ What the biblical steps in Matthew 18 are. ✅ Why tolerating sin is not true love. ✅ What it means to discipline with a redemptive purpose. ✅ How to resolve conflicts among church members. ✅ When can civil justice intervene? ✅ Why we must flee from sexual immorality. ✅ How the gospel can transform any life. 📖 *Key Text:* “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.
