Not Offended

15/12/2019

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Matthew 11:2-11; Isaiah 35:1-10; James 5:7-10]
It wasn't easy for John. He'd announced Jesus as the Messiah, but now he was in prison and was Jesus actually the One? Jesus said, "Blessed is the One who is not offended by me." We can be offended at God; we can grow hardened or bitter. How might we respond to difficulties in life so this does not happen?

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Jeremiah 33:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13; Luke 21:25-36]
