The Restoration of Church Discipline

The third sermon in our series "Gospel-centered Living" through 2 Corinthians, which I preached on February 7th, was from 2 Corinthians 1:23-2:11. The main point as I saw this passage relating to us was the need for restoration of church discipline. Church discipline has as its goal restoration and the church today has forsaken it and thus needs to restore the biblical practice. If you would like to listen to the sermon, click here.

Comforted to be a Comfort, not Comfortable

I preached the first sermon in our series "Gospel-centered living" through 2 Corinthians on January 24th (sorry for not getting it up until now). And the main point I saw in 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 as it applies to us is that we're comforted by God so that we can be a comfort to others, not mainly so that we can live a comfortable life.

Why Love the Church?

The church at times can be tough to love and I think it's largely because our reasons for loving our fellow brothers and sisters are insufficient. Pastor Joshua Harris posted an excerpt about the wrong reasons and right "reason" to love the church. Essentially his point is that rather than loving the church for anything about them we should love the church because of who Jesus is and what He did for His Church. Food for thought.
