Benefits of Church Discipline

1. Confrontation (Matthew 18:15-17)

Process of Church Discipline

15 “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over

16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'

17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

1. Confrontation (Matthew 18:15-17)

2. Exclusion from fellowship (1 Corinthians 5:3-5)

Discipline involves clear judgment, to pronounce an opinion of right or wrong and to separate the unrepentantly guilty

Process of Church Discipline

3 Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.
