About this sermon

4/16/2023 Have you ever battled bitterness? It’s not that uncommon. Bitterness usually sets in after one painful or disappointing event, or series of events, that rob people of the joy they once had. Sometimes bitterness is expressed outwardly—people who are mean, angry, moody, and negative. But sometimes bitterness is internal—people who are suffering on the inside but smiling on the outside. Whether external or internal, God wants to heal us of bitterness and restore the joy of our salvation. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary shares six common causes of bitterness and then prays for God to heal those who want to be free of bitterness. 00:00 - Introduction 20:53 - 6 Common causes & characters of bitterness 21:36 - 1) Envy and jealousy about what others have that you don't 22:42 - 2) The disappointments of life 23:52 - 3) Betrayal and rejection by other people 26:34 - 4) The Hardships and misery of life 27:43 - 5) Personal loss and the death of loved ones 29:07 - 6) Personal failure 30:43 - Bible verses on how to get rid of bitterness ABOUT US: https://cornerstonechapel.net/hello GROW: If you made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior text "I have decided" to (703)844-9969.
