Today’s sermon from Eric on Discipline from Hebrews 12:4-12 is an exploration of how God uses discipline to grow His children in maturity and faith. He contrasts the Stoic view of pain and resistance with a distinctly Christian perspective, emphasizing that God’s discipline is an act of love rather than meaningless suffering. He expands the concept of discipline beyond correction to include direction, showing how God uses both pain and hardship to guide believers toward holiness and deeper submission. Ultimately, the message is one of encouragement: God’s discipline is not punitive but purposeful, aimed at producing righteousness, peace, and a fuller life in Christ.
