The seventh mark of a healthy church - Church Discipline: perhaps the one mark that is most misunderstood and yet simultaneously the most neglected. However it is integrally related to the other marks and so essential for a healthy local church.

This sermon demonstrates:

What is church discipline?
Why should we do church discipline?
How are we to do church discipline?

Main text: Matthew 18:15-20.
