Review
Matthew 16:19
Discourse (On the church)
In 16 he empowered the church with the “Keys to the Kingdom” we are the gatekeepers or gospel keepers.
We are to proclaim the gospel but we also “bind and loose”
In other words, we approve or disapprove of professions of faith
As a church we practice this though the covenants and through membership
This practice is invalid without discipline
doctor - eat right, no treatment
Sports coach - Instructs but never drills (practices)
Exposition 1
Situation
Brother or sister (Fellow kingdom citizen, believer, disciple)
Sins [against you]
Action to take
Step 1 - Confront him/her personally
Notice the goal is repentance
I.
The Goal of Discipline is Repentance
What kind of sin requires this kind of action?
Obviously, if we accept the idea that as Christians, most of us sin everyday, multiple times per day, and this kind of confrontation isn’t happening daily/regularly, we, by practice, have affirmed that we believe not all sins require this kind of confrontation
1 peter 4:8
Outward, Serious, and Unrepantant
Exposition 2
Matthew 18:16
Situation
He doesn’t repent
Action to Take
Step 2 - Confront with other believers
This establishes the truth, both for the one in sin and, if needed for the next step
Deuteronomy 19:15
Matthew 18:17
Situation
He doesn’t repent
Action to Take
Step 3 - Tell it to the church
Situation
He doesn’t repent
Action to Take
Step 4 - Treat him/her as an unbeliever
The goal has not changed through it has been expanded at this point
The goal is still restoration/unrepentance
It is expanded to include protecting the flock
Exposition 3
This verse is basically a repeat of 16:19
recalls the “keys to the kingdom”
Church discipline is part of the duties of a church, guarding the purity of the church
One of the distinctives of Baptist churches is known as “regenerate church membership”
This is not really a verse about prayer but rather that God affirms the church or works through the Church and thus those confronted by the church must heed the warning.
The Church is given the task of spreading and guarding the Gospel
