Sermon notes
6. How do we exercise Church discipline?
a) Who Has the responsibility to discipline a sinning member?
b) To maintain Harmony in a church and to protect it from divisions and bitterness, if a brother does you wrong, you are to go with Haste to that brother to clear up the offence.
c) If the matter is not resolved and the offender won't admit to fault or understand how the misunderstanding has occurred, Help must be sought to establish what has Happened.
d) If the matter doesn't get resolved, the church is called together to Hear and evaluate the case, and provide some counsel on what needs to be done to resolve the matter.
e) The decision of the church is ratified in Heaven.
f) We must pray and work toward the Hope of restoration.
