Real Meaning of Matthew 18

Mark Driscoll and Pastor John Lindell from James River Church, (a mega church in Missouri), have just parted ways due to a false walking out of Matthew 18.

Join Pastor Jim as he challenges the conventional interpretation of Matthew 18 in light of this recent scandalous event that has been an embarrassment to Christianity as a whole. Pastor Jim exposes the TRUTH of what Matthew 18 really means, through a provocative examination of the Hebrew concept of Beit Din (House of Judgment) and its implications for modern-day conflict resolution within the local assembly. Without a proper Hebraic understanding of what the Matthew 18 protocol actually means in its original context, we will automatically read into the text what we already believe, which paves the way for more disastrous events like this to happen within the body of Christ.

The Bible dictates a set of commandments and instructions designed to foster righteousness and harmony among individuals. These timeless directives serve as a moral compass, guiding believers in navigating the complexities of human relationships with integrity and compassion, which is why it is so important to understand the Hebrew context of the New Testament scriptures to get it right or lives could be destroyed in the process.
