Join us as we delve into a powerful sermon on "The Discipline of God," featuring profound teachings from Paul Washer and Steven Lawson. This video will guide you through an inspiring and convicting message about God's unwavering commitment to cleansing and sanctifying His children.

Transcript Excerpts:

(00:00) - When I was a little boy, I was raised on a farm, always dirty from playing in the fields. One night, my mother insisted I take a bath, despite my reluctance. This experience taught me about the thoroughness of cleansing—a metaphor for God's discipline.

(02:35) - God says, "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean" (Ezekiel 36:25). Just as my mother made sure I was clean, God ensures His children are cleansed from all impurities and idols.

(05:10) - One evidence that you truly belong to God is His active involvement in your life to make you clean. Hebrews 12:5-11 emphasizes the necessity and purpose of God's discipline.

(09:03) - The passage from Hebrews 12:5-11 reminds us that God's discipline is an expression of His love, aimed at making us share in His holiness and yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

(14:30) - The comparison of Jacob and Esau illustrates how God's love is shown through His discipline. Jacob was transformed through God's relentless work in his life, unlike Esau who was left to his own ways.

(19:31) - Salvation is primarily the work of God, as emphasized in Ezekiel 36:24-27. God's promise to cleanse, renew, and empower His people underscores His sovereign grace and commitment to our sanctification.

Bible Verses Discussed:

Ezekiel 36:25-27: "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."

Hebrews 12:5-11: "And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son. It says, 'My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.'"
