Bible Passage: 1 Cor 5

The scene set with 2 leaders sitting as members of the 'Expel the immoral brother' club. A new member is joining. A 'masonic' type handshake starts the meeting as the new member joins. This should be made as absurd as possible, with various under the leg handshakes, noises and anything else you can think of. Steve T on the mix for this one.

They then get down to expelling people - from the club. The list is 'blank' - they are 'guided' by the Spirit to name names. One by one people in the youth group are expelled for immorality, greed, theft etc.

Basically, to expel a member for a 'sin', go through the Bible text and add some of your own - lust (must be shouted), being an Aston Villa fan, liking Westlife or some other sickness..

The new member is initially reluctant but gradually cottons on. Then the new member is expelled - then the other leader. The final (and main) member then expels himself for pride and no-one is left.

The point is that the Bible calls us to live holy and pure lives. 1 Corinthians 5 points out some of the horrible sins that some of the Corinthian church were doing. Paul writes to say don't associate with believers who then sin sexually, worship idols and more. In verse 13 of the Chapter Paul quotes from Deuteronomy 17.7 (and other verses in Deuteronomy) where God commanded the Israelites to get rid of the evil from among them.

However, we must also recognise that we have all sinned (Romans 3.23) and we all have struggles (Romans 7.14-25). However, God has commanded us to be holy as he is holy (1 Peter 1.16 quoting from Leviticus 1. In Christ we should live in freedom (not under the law) but not use our freedom as an excuse to sin.
