This devotional examines Heidelberg Catechism Question 82 regarding the exclusion of unrepentant individuals from the Lord's Supper. The text emphasizes that admitting those who openly reject God's discipline profanes the covenant and invites divine wrath upon the congregation. By citing passages such as 1 Corinthians and Matthew 18, the sermon outlines the biblical mandate for church discipline to protect the integrity of the faith community. However, the primary objective of this exclusion is not condemnation but the restoration of the sinner through repentance and reconciliation. Ultimately, the practice serves as a means of grace aimed at bringing wayward believers back to a right relationship with Christ.

Lawsuits in The Church: The Great Need For Peacemakers
The church in Corinth had a problem with individual believers bringing lawsuits against one another. Paul gives the admonition to flee this kind of contention amongst the body and instead pursue reconciliation. This passage shows us the great need for peacemakers in the life of the local church!
