The series on Matthew Pastor Josh did today continue
The second part of chapter eighteen we did thus view
Josh reminded us to remember what is on God’s heart
Having relationships with both God and others is smart
How to deal with sin in the church starts in verse fifteen
Start with a one on one conversation it is clearly seen
Then bring two or three others and then to the church
Always doing so in love, being careful not to besmirch
If all these steps fail, like a “pagan or tax collector” treat
And remove tham from any leadership position or seat
But remember that Jesus said everyone we should love
In the same way, we sin but are still loved from above
The subsequent versus touch on the topic of forgiveness
Forgive seven times, Peter in verse twenty one did express
“Seventy seven times” is the response Jesus did give
Which is still far less than how often He does us forgive
In summary, Josh shared points in a voice quite vehement
Relationships require honesty, accountability, agreement
Unforgiiveness results in anger, ruins lives, rejects mercy
Forgiveness requires God’s grace, as so often we do see
