Regeneration and Church Discipline

Matthew 18:15-20

Discipleship Starts at Regeneration

  • John 20:30-31

  • 1 Peter 1:23

  • Titus 3:5

  • Matthew 16:18-19

Discipleship Requires Discipline

  • Acts 2:42

  • Matthew 18:15-17

  • 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Membership Is Meaningless If It Is Unconditional

  • Matthew 18:18-20

  • 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

Application Points:

  • Membership is less about “joining” and more about “submitting” to God

  • Discipleship starts at regeneration

  • Without discipline there is no discipleship

  • The Gospel must be defended

  • Discipleship demands repentance and growth
