Living Unoffended

Seven Days Pt. 3 | March 10th, 2024

Pastor TJ Hankey 

Matthew 24:10 (NKJV) “And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”

Luke 17:1 (NLT) Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come…”

Luke 17:1 (NKJV) Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come…”

 The life of the Offended

 

Matthew 24:10 (NKJV) “And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”

Ephesians 4:26-27 (NLT) And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Matthew 24:11-12 (NKJV) “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”

Matthew 7:15 (NLT) Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.

 The life of the Unoffended

 

1 Samuel 26:8-11 (NLT) “God has surely handed your enemy over to you this time!” Abishai whispered to David. “Let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t need to strike twice!” 

“No!” David said. “Don’t kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the Lord’s anointed one? Surely the Lord will strike Saul down someday, or he will die of old age or in battle. The Lord forbid that I should kill the one he has anointed! But take his spear and that jug of water beside his head, and then let’s get out of here!”

 

1 Samuel 26:23-24 (NLT) “The Lord gives his own reward for doing good and for being loyal, and I refused to kill you even when the Lord placed you in my power, for you are the Lord’s anointed one. Now may the Lord value my life, even as I have valued yours today. May he rescue me from all my troubles.”

 

Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV) This, then, is how you should pray: 

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

 

Ephesians 1:18-19 (NIV) I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
