In Church Discipline with Grace (Titus 3:9–11), Pastor Brandon reminded us that a healthy church protects unity by confronting division with grace. Paul warned Titus to avoid foolish debates and unprofitable arguments that distract from Christ and divide the body.

When foolishness turns into division, leaders must graciously correct, not coddle. Paul instructed Titus to warn a divisive person twice—then, if unrepentant, to create distance for the protection of the church. This isn’t cruelty; it’s careful love rooted in holiness. Like leaven in dough, sin left unchecked spreads silently and weakens the whole community.

Discipline isn’t about humiliation—it’s about restoration. It’s grace in action, calling people back to truth and unity. Just as Jesus confronted our sin not to condemn but to redeem, we too confront with compassion and humility.

Bottom line: Confronting sin with grace preserves the purity and unity of Christ’s church and displays the beauty of His redeeming love.
