Get It Out

September 27, 2020 • Nic Schneider

Bitterness. Now, that’s a big word. With the state of today’s world it can be easy to let an offense come in, like a seed in our hearts. When it grows, it can take our joy. But, God’s word has a remedy. When we allow it to lead us, it will navigate us through the tension, into peace and fulfillment. Today’s message will go into our hearts, like medicine for our souls. Take a deep breath, great days are ahead. Hebrews 12:15 NLT - Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Genesis 4:4b-8 NLT - The LORD accepted Abel and his gift, but he did not accept Cain and his gift. This made Cain very angry, and he looked dejected. “Why are you so angry?” the LORD asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” One day Cain suggested to his brother, “Let’s go out into the fields.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother, Abel, and killed him. Ephesians 4:27 MSG - Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life. Ephesians 4:27 AMP - “And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness].” Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV - Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Colossians 3:13 NLT - Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Ruth 1:8 NLT - “Don’t call me Naomi,” she responded. “Instead, call me Mara, for the Almighty has made life very bitter for me.” Luke 23:34 ISV - Jesus kept saying, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." Genesis 50:19-21 TLB - But Joseph told them, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, to judge and punish you? As far as I am concerned, God turned into good what you meant for evil, for he brought me to this high position I have today so that I could save the lives of many people. No, don’t be afraid. Indeed, I myself will take care of you and your families.” And he spoke very kindly to them, reassuring them. Welcome Home. We're Glad You're Here Our desire is for you to live your best life now. We believe being committed to a church is the greatest way for that to happen. Jesus created you to belong to a church family, where you grow in your relationship with Him. At City Church, you will find value, experience real life-change, and build lifelong friendships. Church is not an event, it is a community of people that will help you fulfill your God-given purpose. We promise you will become a better you, here. Pastor Jerry is asking you to give us a year and you will love what you see.
