In Episode 2 of our mini-teaching series: The Church, Pastor Chad unpacks Jesus' operational protocol for dealing with sin within the church community.

In an oft IGNORED or altogether NEGLECTED passage, Jesus lays his vision for our the church is meant to operate when dealing with sin. Especially the sin that disrupts relationship and desperately needs to be addressed.

Jesus is zealous for his church to maintain close, covenantal relationship between brothers and sisters in the same spiritual family (read, the church!) and in order for us to stay in relationship we need HELP dealing with the sins and snares that inevitably rise up when we're in relationship with other broken individuals like ourselves.

The whole process outlined in Matthew 18:15-20 is to be done with prayerful, pastoral, and communal care with the overarching desire for reconciliation between God, self and neighbor. Jesus gives us a blueprint to be and become the Radiant Church he died to create! (Ephesians 5:25-32)
