Incomparable | Matthew 18: Why Church Discipline Matters | David Haupt

Confront the difficult topic of church discipline in Matthew 18. See why the church often avoids this duty, confusing it with being unloving or judgmental. This sermon debunks common myths (“the church is just a hospital,” “we shouldn’t judge”), contrasting harsh, procedural exclusion with a truly redemptive, Christ-like model. Explore the parables of the Lost Sheep and the Unforgiving Servant to understand how biblical discipline must be rooted in profound humility, self-awareness, and a compassionate drive to restore the erring.
