Jeremy Utley - Take God’s Discipline Seriously
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Take God’s Discipline Seriously Date: 05/21/2023 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The sermon focuses on Hebrews 12, urging believers not to regard God's discipline lightly nor to faint when reproved. The speaker emphasizes that discipline, which often appears sorrowful, is actually for our good, ultimately leading us to share in God's holiness. Believers must actively guard against both the temptation to dismiss hardship as 'no big deal' and the danger of despair, striving instead to be faithful through difficult times.
