God's kingdom opened and closed in humility and mercy

Reading:
Matthew 18
Belgic Confession art 32
Text:
Lord’s Day 1
Sermon:
God’s kingdom opened and closed in humility and mercy
Jesus is blunt and brutal with the disciples’ arrogance
Jesus explains discipline as seeking the lost
Jesus shows that living in God’s kingdom is living out of forgiveness
