Introduction
True restoration requires the supernatural work of God!
What is the chief purpose of the restoration process?
When should we go after a brother to restore him?
How do we KNOW if a brother has been “restored?”
Restoration is our chief aim, not conflict resolution.
All efforts to restore a brother must be founded in love.
We must truly forgive before we can restore.
The approach is determined by whether sin is private or public.
The end of the process is restoration, not condemnation.
Love always assumes a person is innocent until proven guilty.
We must avoid gossip at all cost.
