Sermons About Bitterness
The Necessity of Forgiveness
Jesus returns to forgiveness, knowing we have a difficult time forgiving other people. Sin distrupts relationships and creates distance. The cross of Jesus is the means for our forgiveness, and the ability to forgive others.

John 3:22-4:3 Joy or Bitterness; life or Death?
It amazes me how cleverly John put this book together to tell his story clearly and with the vision for us to believe and worship his God, Jesus Christ. Our passage comes off the heals of a passage defining what being born from above is, and then turns to how bitter jealousy can rob our joy, right before he goes into an incredible story of worship in chapter 4. Let’s enjoy the feast!

Faith in the Wilderness (Exodus 15:22 - 18:27)
After seeing God's great power and glory, Israel falls into escalating grumbling as God brings them through the wilderness. Moses, however, retains his faith in "the LORD my banner". Without denying the very real and agonizing hardships we experience in life, we must resist the temptation to unbelief and grumbling and must remind ourselves of God's goodness and faithfulness. He will surely continue to sustain us through trials.
