The Grudge

Week 1: I’m Over It

Pastor Trevor Sudheimer | In The Grudge

I’M OVER IT

If you are on a continuous search to be offended, you will always find what you are looking for.

Your life is too short and your calling too great to be offended by something small.

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs 19:11 NIV

We close the gap with love.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. Proverbs 10:12 ESV

Fundamental Attribution Error:

  • The bias to attribute our own behavior to our circumstances while attributing someone else’s actions to their character.

  • The devil wants you to fill the gaps with accusations.

  • God wants you to fill the gaps with love.

Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9 NIV

… Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Ephesians 4:2 NLT

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs 19:11 NIV

The calling ahead of me is greater than the offenses behind me!
