We continue our five-week series on Church discipline with week four’s sermon Protecting Church Purity by Jeff Purswell.

The doctrine of Church discipline is one that most American Christians are unaware even exists and which many others choose to ignore. However, not only is it a reality, it is a biblical mandate for the Church regardless if most pastors in America choose to ignore it (many times for fear it will hurt their church attendance numbers).

Jeff Purswell is pastor of Covenant Life Church.
