In this message, Mike Riccardi explains that church discipline is a necessary mark of a faithful church because it protects the purity of Christ’s bride and seeks the restoration of sinners. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 2, he emphasizes that biblical discipline must combine seriousness about sin with compassion toward the repentant, aiming not at punishment for its own sake but at repentance, forgiveness, restoration, and the glory of Christ.
