How we Repair Church Hurt

To cause another believer to sin is more serious than dying by drowning. It is preferable to cut off your own hand or foot or to gouge out your own eye than to sin habitually against God. We, in the church, need each other to help each other to put our sin to death. The true church is a place where true Christians don't despise other sinning Christians. Christians have a more special place in God's heart than anyone can imagine. God's angels serve them! God Himself searches for His lost sheep. We fail on both sides, either by avoiding confrontation over sin, or by attacking people who have sinned. Jesus explains four steps that we can take in order to deal with sin in the church. This is a wonderfully merciful message that will give you hope if you are struggling with a sin-strained relationship in the church.
