Restoration and Church Discipline 

Jesus directs the church to patiently and gently pursue its sinning believers that they may be won back from their sin. In cases where the professing Christian refuses to repent of sin, Jesus directs the church to remove the unrepentant one from the church family and fellowship. GBC practices church discipline as prescribed by its bylaws in accordance with Matt. 18:15-17, Titus 3:10, Rom. 16:17, 1 Cor. 5:9-13, and 2 Thess. 3:14. Regular attendance at GBC is considered affirmation of this biblical practice. If you have any questions regarding church discipline, please listen to our sermon titled “Your Role in Church Discipline,” located on our website here. The elders are also available to answer any questions.

August Book of the Month

“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” — Hebrews 12:1 August’s Book of the Month is Run to Win by Tim Challies. While written primarily for young men, this book offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom that will benefit Christians of all ages—men and women alike—as they pursue a life of faithful endurance. Pick up your copy at the book table for $12.
