Introduction
We’ve been talking for the past few weeks about how messy ministry can be.
The reason why it’s messy is because your are dealing with sinful people who don’t always do things right.
I believe one of the greatest gifts that any one of us poses is the gift of forgiveness.
The ability to absolve someone of wrong doing and free them from the shackles of your mind.
Jesus modeled forgiveness for us on the cross by paying for our sins and then while hanging on the cross said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
So what do you do when you find yourself in a messy situation with a brother or sister in the church.
Some choose to leave or find another church, which just leaves a wake of unresolved problems behind you.
This doesn’t work because the church is not a build but a group of people with interpersonal relationships.
Very view people Take the High Road of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
I was thinking about the phrase that all of us have heard about the church.
“The church is just full of Hypocrites.”
We, as the church, sometimes dismiss this phrase as an over-exaggeration saying that no one is perfect.
Because truly no one is perfect.
Jesus defines hypocrisy as preaching one thing and doing something else, or setting up standards for others that you are not willing to submit too.
But I don’t think that sinless perfection is what people are looking for.
What if people are just wanting to see someone practicing what they preach?
So if the church preaches love and forgiveness, and redemption; there should be love and forgiveness, and redemption from the church body.
People are going to mess up.
Christians are not going to handle themselves the way the should.
Brothers and Sisters sometimes hurt each others feelings.
Sometimes there are bad business practices between brothers and sisters.
The hypocrisy becomes apparent when we preach one thing and then conduct ourselves completely different.
If in fact, the Bible is our final authority for all life and practice, that has to apply to all situations that come up in the Church.
So how do we conduct ourselves and make sure we practice what we preach?
Paul lays this out in .
