## Resource

When was the last time you heard a sermon on church discipline? It has probably been a while. Yet when we speak about the importance of church membership, we cannot wisely avoid the subject of church discipline. What does it mean for you and for me? Is church discipline still relevant for the modern church? In this sermon, Pastor Donald addresses these questions and others, showing that church discipline is not a harsh or outdated practice, but a very good and necessary gift for the health and life of the church.
