CARING ENOUGH TO CONFRONT
(King Jesus: The Gospel of Matthew- Part 48)
February 7, 2021
WOUNDING OTHERS IN THE CHURCH IS INEVITABLE
DEALING WITH OFFENSES IS NOT OPTIONAL
Why we don’t:
– Confrontation is uncomfortable/painful
– Disagreeing with another is seen as being “hateful”
– It is seen as an act of disobedience
Why we must:
– God commands it
– The world is watching
– Sin is damaging/damning
– Dealing with it brings to reconciliation, health, life
THE PASSAGE: Matthew 18:15-20
The steps to take- vs. 15-17
The motivation and encouragement needed- vs.18-20
