Falls Presbyterian Church (OPC)

The Lord fully equipped His apostles with authority to upbuild His church and to gently restore unity. 1. The proof of true apostles was that they gently warned of the impending exercise of the power of Christ. (v.1-4) 2. True apostles taught others how to prayerfully detect where Christ truly was in His church: in you and in me! (v.5-9) 3. As gently as possible, true apostles were upbuilding Christ's church and restoring peace, harmony and unity. (v.10-14) How important is a soft touch when exercising authority? Why are multiple witnesses required? Deuteronomy 19:15 For whom did both Jesus and Paul pray? Mt. 5:44-45 Where are unity and harmony found? Col. 3:14
