I. Steps of Restoration
Step 1 - Private Rebuke
To hold an offence in your heart or even to gossip about the offense to all but the one who has caused the offense is like internal bleeding in the church that seems fine on the surface but is deadly on the inside.
For what offenses?
Any truly sinful offence.
Not preferences or best practices, or unspoken “Christian Norms.”
How soon?
Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, that is, without a definite plan to take care of it.
How soon?
Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, that is, without a definite plan to take care of it.
How often?
Until they refuse to listen to you any longer.
What are you looking for?
When your children disobey, what are you looking for?
a repentant hear, sorrow over sin.
they whould be willing to ask forgiveness of God and the other hurt parties and even make restitution if needed.
Step 2 - Help with Rebuke
who to take along?
Does not have to be the pastor.
Matthew 18:
Step 3 - Church Rebuke
p
Matthew 18:17
Step 4 - Church Removal
Matthew 18:
John MacArthur — There is no higher court than the church.
1 Cor
The purpose of these steps is not remove a saint from the church but is to restore the saint to the church
Do you know of sin in a brother or sister that you need to lovingly respond to?
Maybe you know that you have sinned and need to deal with that.
II.
Heavenly Agreement
A. In Authority
What right do we have to do this?
We have authority from heaven itself through the Word of God.
What right do we have to do this?
We have authority from heaven itself through the Word of God.
Bind someones sins upon them.
When we as a church follow this procedure and finally get the end of a matter, we will be in agreement with the Father in heaven.
The Father already knows the heart of the backslider and has pronounced judgement.
We don’t have that knowledge.
We are always many steps behind God, but when we by the Word of God catch up to the will of God, we have His authority to act.
Loose - freedom from sin.
B. In Action
Why two?
Because they are the two witnesses who confirm the facts.
That is all it takes.
[Modern court-two witnesses can condemn a man for a crime].
B. In Access
Jesus is in the midst of the witnesses.
Matthew
1 cor 5:1-
Conclusion:
church growth depends upon it.
Acts 5
John MacArthur - “Never is the church more like Jesus Christ than when it obeys this passage”
So called believers who don’t attend church have voluntarily done to themselves what takes the church a whole process to do.
They have excommunicated themselves from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Jesus is in the presence of the church because the church is His body.

Rev 1
Purpose: Lovingly seek each other’s restoration when we sin against each other.
