📖 Matthew 18:15–20 – The Church Discipline Process (Part 2)
🎙️ Sermon by Pastor Casey Lewis | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX
📅 December 2025

In this follow-up to last week’s teaching, Pastor Casey Lewis completes the five-step process of biblical church discipline laid out by Jesus in Matthew 18. Far from being harsh or outdated, this process is a God-ordained means of pursuing holiness, protecting the church, and restoring the wandering.

Pastor Casey emphasizes that church discipline is about love, not punishment—because we love the Lord, we love His church, and we love the sinner enough to call them back.

🔍 Five clear steps from Jesus:
1️⃣ Talk in private – Address the sin personally, not publicly
2️⃣ Take others with you – If there’s no repentance, bring one or two more
3️⃣ Tell it to the church – Bring the matter to the church body for action and accountability
4️⃣ Treat those who do not repent as Gentiles – If someone persists in sin, lovingly treat them as an unbeliever, sharing the gospel and removing them from membership
5️⃣ Truly, Christ is with us – When church discipline is done biblically and humbly, Jesus promises His presence and authority

This sermon is saturated with Scripture, practical wisdom, and pastoral urgency. Pastor Casey reminds us:

• Discipline is an act of grace

• Ignoring sin weakens the church and dishonors Christ

• Restoration is always the goal

• Church purity must never be sacrificed for comfort or “efficiency”

“When discipline leaves a church, Christ goes with it.” – J.L. Dagg
“Truly, I say to you… where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” – Matthew 18:20

📖 Matthew 18:15–20 – The Church Discipline Process (Part 1)

🎙️ Sermon by Pastor Casey Lewis | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX

📅 December 2025

In this bold and urgent message, Pastor Casey Lewis teaches from Matthew 18:15–20 on God’s process for church discipline—a command not just for church leadership, but for every believer. This passage gives us a biblical framework to lovingly and directly deal with sin inside the body of Christ, with one clear goal: restoration.

Too many churches avoid dealing with sin. But Jesus didn’t suggest these steps—He commanded them.

🔍 Pastor Casey walks through the first two steps Jesus outlines:

1️⃣ Talk in private – If your brother or sister sins against you, go to them alone. Do not ignore it. Do not gossip. Confront in love, aiming for repentance and reconciliation.

2️⃣ Take others with you – If they will not listen, take one or two others as witnesses, confirming the truth and pursuing restoration with clarity and compassion.

💡 Additional truths emphasized:

Restoration is always the goal—not shame, not control, but holiness

Discipline is for our good, because God disciplines those He loves

Sin has consequences—it spreads like sickness and leads to death if ignored

Maturity is needed—spiritual growth requires accountability within the church body

Every Christian plays a role—this isn’t just for elders or pastors; all members are called to obey

This message reminds us that church discipline is loving, necessary, and God-ordained. It protects the holiness of the church and calls wayward believers back to Christ.

“If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” (Matthew 18:15)

📖 Matthew 18:10-14 - Wandering Sheep
🎙️ Sermon by Pastor Casey Lewis | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX
📅 November 2025

In this compassionate and convicting sermon from Matthew 18:10-14, Pastor Casey Lewis draws out the heart of Christ for His people—especially those who stray. In these verses, Jesus gives a clear command: do not despise His children. Instead, imitate the Great Shepherd who goes after the one wandering sheep.

This is a call to humble love, not spiritual arrogance. A call to pursue, not to ignore. A call to restore, not to reject.

🔍 Major points from this sermon:
1️⃣ Do not despise or look down upon any of God’s sheep—as you are also a sheep

• Every believer is vulnerable to pride, but Jesus calls us to humility.

• “Little ones” in this passage are not children by age, but believers in Christ.

• We must not look down on other Christians for any reason—status, theology, failure, or struggle.

• God values His children enough to send His angels for their care—so should we.

2️⃣ The amazing work of the Great Shepherd caring for wandering sheep is our perfect example

• Jesus actively seeks out His own who stray—not to shame, but to restore.

• This parable is not about evangelism—it’s about the Church’s care for fellow believers.

• We are called to pursue the hurting, search for the drifting, and love the discouraged.

• We are to reflect Jesus by seeking after one another with humility and grace.

3️⃣ The Great Shepherd will bring His sheep all the way home. REJOICE!

• God’s will is that none of His children perish in spiritual ruin.

• Jesus preserves and restores His sheep through His Word and His people.

• When a believer repents and returns, the Church should rejoice!

• God’s promises are sure: we are sealed, secure, and never outside His care.

“So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18:14)

This sermon is a timely call for every Christian: Don’t sit and despise—search and shepherd.

📖 Matthew 18:1–6 – The Greatest

🎙️ Sermon by Pastor Casey Lewis | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX

📅 October 2025

In this Christ-exalting sermon from Matthew 18:1–6, Pastor Casey Lewis addresses a timeless question asked by the disciples: “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Jesus responds by calling a child into their midst and teaching that true greatness in God’s kingdom is marked by humility, not pride.

Through three powerful truths, this message confronts the pride of man and calls believers to reflect the heart of Christ:

🔍 Key truths from this sermon:

1️⃣ Entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven is reserved for those who become like children before the Lord

2️⃣ Humility is not weakness but greatness

3️⃣ A warning to rightly live and handle the Word of God

📖 Jesus declares:

“Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:4)

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin… it would be better for him to have a millstone fastened around his neck and be drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

This isn’t just about children—it’s about the heart posture of every true believer. Pastor Casey urges the church to pursue a faith marked by repentance, humility, and careful obedience to the Word of God, lest we lead others away from Christ instead of toward Him.

📖 Matthew 17:22-27 - Death & Taxes

🎙️ Sermon by Pastor Casey Lewis | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX

📅 November 2025

In this two-part scene from Matthew 17:22–27, Pastor Casey Lewis teaches on both the certainty of Christ’s saving mission and the call for Christians to live godly lives before a watching world.

First, Jesus again predicts His death and resurrection—reminding the disciples that His suffering is not accidental, but part of the divine plan to save His people from their sins. This is a divine promise, and it brings deep assurance for every believer.

Second, we witness a moment with tax collectors in Capernaum. Though Jesus, the Son of God, was exempt from the temple tax, He pays it—not to give offense. Through this, Pastor Casey teaches that believers are to live lives of humility, obedience, and public integrity, reflecting the glory of Christ.

🔍 Key truths from this sermon:

1️⃣ Jesus predicts His death and resurrection a second time

2️⃣ Paying taxes and living a godly life before others

🙌 This is not just about paying taxes—it’s about honoring Christ in everything, even when it means surrendering our rights for the sake of the gospel.

📖 Matthew 17:14-21 - Little Faith

🎙️ Sermon by Pastor Casey Lewis | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX

📅 October 2025

In this soul-searching sermon from Matthew 17:14–21, Pastor Casey Lewis unpacks the account of a desperate father, a suffering child, and a group of disciples who lacked the faith to act. Through this passage, we're challenged to examine whether our confidence is truly placed in God—or in ourselves.

This message isn't about "believing harder" to get what we want. It's a call to a God-centered, glory-driven, growing faith that trusts the Lord even when we don’t understand.

🔍 In this message, you’ll find:

1️⃣ A cry for mercy falls before Jesus.

2️⃣ A failure of His disciples

3️⃣ A lesson of faith & prayer

Pastor Casey reminds us that the object of our faith must always be God Himself—not our theology, not our routines, not even our good intentions.

"If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)

This isn’t about name-it-and-claim-it faith—it's about God-glorifying, self-denying, mountain-moving faith that grows even in suffering. The kind of faith that says, "Even if He does not..." (Daniel 3:18)
