SERIES OVERVIEW
“Itʼs OK...Iʼm Good”
Luke 17:1
Sunday, March 6, 2011
If youʼve been offended and havenʼt biblically
dealt with it, youʼre not good. In fact, most
grudges are linked to neglected offenses. This
message will explore the two categories offended
people and how to respond biblically.
“No Hate Like Family Hate”
Genesis 37-48
Sunday, 13, 2011
I once heard someone say, “Only those you care
about can hurt you.” Ouch! Thatʼs so true.
When weʼre mistreated by our own family, it
intensifies the pain. In this message, weʼll take a
close look at the life of Jacobʼs favorite son,
Joseph and learn how to respond appropriately.
“Not You Too”
1 Samuel 24:11
Sunday, March 20, 2011
If you thought Joseph got a raw deal, wait until
you hear about Davidʼs encounter with Saul. Itʼs
one thing to be rejected by siblings, but it is
entirely different to experience rejection and
malice from a parent or a father/mother like
figure. This message will show you how to
respond to those we thought would love, train,
nurture, and care for us.
“The Greatest Offender Of Them All”
1 Peter 4:1-2
Sunday, March 27, 2011
Every TRUE follower of Jesus at some point will
offend others. In other words, if you are going to
obey the Spirit of God, you will offend people.
Some will not understand you as you move with
the Spirit. This message will teach you how
NOT to abort the flow of the Spirit by giving in to
the desires of people.
“Sift Me So You Can Shift Me”
Luke 22:31-32
Sunday, April 3, 2011
Building a Kingdom movement requires the right
materials and tools. Early on Simon Peter used
the tools he knew: strong will and personal
confidence. Pride opened the door for the enemy
to come in and sift Simon Peter. This message
will illustrate why God must “sift” us to “shift” us.
Grab your family, friends, relatives, and
