The Gift God Wants // Life In The Kingdom

Feeling anxious or hostile? Forgiveness and reconciliation, according to Harvard Medical School, can lower anxiety, depression, and substance abuse while increasing self-esteem. This week's message explores Jesus's teaching on anger, emphasizing that harboring contempt and using dehumanizing language puts you on a destructive path. Reconciliation is key: prioritize making things right with others over your religious practices because unresolved conflict damages relationships and our relationship with God. A truly blessed life means taking responsibility for how you treat others, actively pursuing reconciliation, and offering forgiveness because everyone has sacred worth as they are made in God's image.
