What if you tried this?

This weekend at Community we’re talking about forgiveness. It’s a key part of Jacob’s story so we’ll spend some time on this critical issue. Whether you came to church last night, and already heard the message, or you’ll be joining us on Sunday, I wanted to give you some extra time with these verses.

Ask yourself the following questions, then read these verses a few times:

1-Who is it, that even the thought of them, get’s me upset?

2-How has anger or bitterness come back to hurt me rather than the person I’m mad at?

3-If God would help me, am I willing to forgive that person?

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT)
