Sermon: Chiseled by Correction

INTRODUCTION: God's correction is a blessing that leads to abundant life.

"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid."

‭‭ -Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬

"Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise. Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding."

-‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬

"Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."

- Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Scripture Text: Matthew 16:22-23.

"Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!" Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.""
