Church discipline is not harsh or punitive. It is a loving, restorative, biblical act rooted in the character of God Himself. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins walks through Hebrews 12, Matthew 18, Galatians 6, and 1 Corinthians 5 to show how church discipline protects the church, preserves the gospel, and restores the wandering sinner. Topics covered include: • Restoration versus punishment. • Protecting the holiness of the church. • Guarding the integrity of the gospel. • Reflecting the Father's loving discipline. • Why neglecting discipline harms the entire congregation.
