Protecting the Church | 1 Corinthians 5:6-13
Church discipline serves more than bringing correction to the person who refuses to address their sinful lifestyle. It also serves to protect the Church and her witness to the world. Pastor Ross explains this from 1 Corinthians 5 where the Apostle Paul had to step in to correct the church.
All About Church Discipline | 1 Corinthians 5:1-8
We don't like to talk about Church Discipline, because we don't like to be told what we can do by others. And so Church Discipline can feel like someone meddling with our business, punishing us. But the heart behind the intervention is love and protection. Pastor Ross explains the heart behind it, but also how it should be done.
Understanding Church Leadership | 1 Corinthians 4:1-5
God has designed the Church to operate under the leadership of Elders. But what happens when Church leaders fail? Who are they accountable to? How do you respond? What should you look for in a Church leader?
United we Stand, but Divided we Fall | Genesis 11:1-9
The Tower of Babel account is a demonstration of the power of unity, as well as the destructive power of disunity. And that matters for the church today, as we are called to protect our unity in Christ - where our diversity combined with that unity will be directed towards the same common goal - to glorify God.
