The Difficult One Another

There are many "one another" commands. Some are relatively easy and enjoyable to do - comfort, care for, serve, be kind, pray for one another. Some are harder to do - be submissive, in honor prefer, edify, love one another. The difficult one is "admonish one another" for it is not only uncomfortable to do, but it is actually the first step of church discipline. If the admonishment is heeded, the brother is won and peace and righteousness reign. If it is not heeded, then more people are brought in, then the church and ultimately it can result in disfellowship. This sermon explains this process and why it is not only what is right to do before God, it is also the loving thing to do for the person who has stumbled into sin and become stuck.
