Matthew 18: 15-17 Stop being defensive! We will look at Jesus’s teaching on church discipline from the perspective of being the one called out for sin. We need to learn to listen to criticism and ask “what if this is true?” One of the hardest but most effective ways to gain wisdom and grow is to learn from the discipline and criticism of others.
