Sermon: Disciplined for Holiness | Luke 13:22–30 | The Narrow Door

Disciplined for Holiness | Luke 13:22–30 | The Narrow Door

When I was young, I took piano lessons. My teacher was kind, but relentless. She circled the same mistakes week after week, making me slow down and repeat the basics until I could play them well. At the time, it felt tedious. But she wasn’t punishing me—she was preparing me for something better.

In the same way, God disciplines His children. His discipline is not aimless punishment, but loving training that shapes, strengthens, and prepares us for holiness. Through His Word, He teaches us the narrow way, that we may share in His holiness and enter the narrow door of life.

🙏 Key Takeaway: God’s discipline is love in action—training us to cling to Christ alone for salvation and to live as His holy people.
