2 Corinthians

Examine Yourselves (2 Cor. 13:1-9)

C.S. Lewis once said "God whispers to us in our pleasures; he speaks to us in our work; he shouts at us in our pain." Sometimes, God can only get our attention by disciplining us. In our latest sermon podcast, we take a look at what the Bible says about church discipline. Topics we discuss include:
Why a little pain is sometimes a good thing
The need for "tough love"
Jesus' formula for correcting a brother or sister in sin
Reasons we should or should not confront
How God is ultimately wielding the rod in spiritual discipline
What does self-examination look like practically?
Thanks for listening.
