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. The elders are also available to answer any questions.

Book of the Month Defeating Evil by Scott Christensen – How can a good God allow evil in the world?

March’s Book of the Month is available for $14; pick up a copy and read along with us. At just 7-8 pages a day, you’ll work through one of the clearest, most faithful treatments of how God superintends all things—both good and evil—to accomplish His will and display His glory.
