This lesson explores the biblical foundations and practical application of church discipline, especially toward unrepentant believers who harm the unity and testimony of the church. Using 3 John and the example of Diotrephes, it demonstrates how pride, unaccountability, and divisiveness threaten the health of a congregation. Discipline, when done biblically, is not unloving but redemptive—intended to restore the sinner and protect the flock. Believers are called to hold one another accountable with humility and courage, maintaining both grace and truth in the pursuit of holiness and church integrity.
