Diotrephes: Disorder in Church Discipline - How NOT to Pastor a Church

A message about the proper purpose and procedure for church discipline, and a warning against those in leadership in the church, who like "Diotrephes" of 3 John 9-10 abuse the office of elder to set themselves in preeminence over the church, setting themselves as the lord of the church instead of the Lord Jesus Christ, and expelling those from the church who are an affront to their authoritarian rule.

This sermon was preached by Pastor Sam Adams on 2-12-2017 at Independence Baptist Church in Belleview, Florida. Bible text: 3 John 1:9-10; Matthew
18:15
