The Blight of Bitterness, Part 2 (Hebrews 12:14-16) - Pastor Brent Stille

Hurt finds all of us eventually. What we do with it is what makes the difference. Pastor Brent Stille opens Hebrews 12 to show what unresolved resentment does to a person, and how God's grace offers a way out. In this message: * What bitterness is, and the two roots it grows from * The damage it does physically, spiritually, and to those around us * The shift from pursuing revenge to pursuing peace * Four steps for letting it go: confession, consecration, concentration, communication * The freedom Jesus promises in John 8:32 and 10:10 Bitterness can become a prison of our own making. By God's grace, you can walk out of it a victor rather than a victim.

Why the Righteous Don't Run (Psalm 11) - Pastor Daniel Steeves

When everything you stand for feels like it's being torn down, why keep showing up? Why not just step back, soften your convictions, and quit? In Psalm 11, David faces that exact temptation. Saul is hunting him, the wicked have arrows notched in the dark, and his closest friends are telling him to flee to the mountains. The voice in his ear sounds reasonable: the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? This message walks through David's answer for anyone who has ever felt like faithfulness no longer matters. Psalm 11 shows why the righteous don't run: because God still reigns from his holy temple, because his eyes never leave the silver in the fire, and because one day every faithful follower of Christ will behold his face. If you've been tempted to give up, this Psalm is for you.
