Love or Hatred: Responding to Offense in the Covenant Community
April 3, 2016
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. (ESV)
Proverbs 10:12
Introduction:
I. When Conflict Appears (10:12)
II. Response to Offense: Hatred! (10:12a)
III. Response to Offense: Love! (10:12b)
IV. Conclusion: The Great Covenant Keeper
Questions for reflection:
- What is our default response to offense?
- How does our response to offense either undermine or support our covenant-relationships?
- What is the root of your hateful response when wronged? What is preventing you from
- embracing a loving response?
- How does the gospel and Jesus save us from a hateful response?
