In this episode we are discussing Church Discipline with Pastor Sam Colon (Circle of Christ Church). Which is the process of correcting sinful behavior among members of a local church body for the purpose of protecting the church, restoring the sinner to a right walk with God, and renewing fellowship among the church members. Key verse is found in Mt 18:15-20 . There are 3 steps to Church Discipline. In this episode we cover 2.
1. Step 1 Vs15: to approach the offender in private would avoid bringing shame on that person. It also would minimize the opportunity for misunderstanding & gossip.
2. Step 2 Vs 16:Witnesses. This step emphasizes the importance of the issue at hand & provides the wisdom of others. They are there to witness as well help resolve issue.
3. Step 3 Vs 17: The Church. The Greek word here is ekklesia, which means “assembly”. It appears in other NT writings in ref to the corporate body of all believers (body of Christ) Acts 9:31.
