- On a daily basis, there are opportunities to get offended. Whether it’s in the checkout line or office, or the way someone says something to us, there doesn’t fail to be something to trip us up. The question is, what to do with offense when it comes our way.
Completing the “Love Lies” collection of talks with the message “Trapped in Offense,” Pastors Rich and DawnCheré breakdown how offense has the potential to ravage our relationships. They let us know that offense is actually a trap that can lead to resentment, bitterness and even hatred if left unchecked. The way we contend with offense makes all the difference in whether we take the bait or not.
In order to avoid the specific pitfalls of offense the enemy has specifically planned for us, we must resolve to have a strategy when dealing with offense. The first of which is to deal with offense quickly with forgiveness before offense has a chance to take its toll. Then we must constantly remind ourselves of our identity and purpose in Christ - we find that in the word of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. And any strategy in relationships must include an understanding that the fight is a spiritual one, therefore we must approach offense with our spiritual weapon of prayer.
The petty misunderstandings in life do not have to become the major problems in life. Before offense has the chance to fence us into a corner, let’s go on the offensive, armed with a strategy that gives us a way out. When in doubt, we can look to the example of Jesus. He had every reason to take offense but forgave to the very end. Because of his forgiveness, we too have the power to forgive.
Forgiveness is not about justice, its about Freedom 😊 Sometimes we need to remember we serve a God of justice, vengeance is His, only He can dish out the right amount of justice and mercy😊🙉 For the sake of eternity 😉. Thank you Ps Rich and Ps DC, you guys are so relatable and I love it 😊 May Jesus continue to bless you and VOUS Church😊
Comedic, smart and blessing u get the all packages available in this message , just amazing 😍🙌🏾
I've been binging on your sermons since I heard you preach in London Hillsong a few weeks ago, this has to be one of the best sermons I've ever watched. We usually never see the human side of our pastors showing that they go through the normal day to day struggles
my boyfriend after 1 year and 3 months who I had a promise ring to, just cheated on me with my bestfriend.. it’s been really hard and I feel completely broken. But these sermons help so much, so thank you 😞❤️
Praying for you, love. Ive been there too
I absolutely love the realness up here. It blesses me so much. Listening at work, I had to stifle my laughter so badly, I had trouble breathing for a bit. lol
I watched the whole series and I'm recently married and it put into perspective the offenses I've been holding and how I need to give them to Jesus and love like God loves my husband. Thank you Rich and DawnCheré for that beautiful word and a beautiful series!!!! 💕💕
Did anybody else spit out their water when Rich said the exterminator was Mickey? 🤣🤣

You guys are amazing! I’m so thankful I found your channel. I wish I could move to Miami. This is the kind of church I want to belong to. I love messages you teach, I’m learning so much. I’m 47 years old, I’ve been saved since I was 12 and for the first time in my life, I’m reading the Bible and I love it. Thank you for that.

👍👍👍 :)
Wonderful perspective; I thoroughly enjoy you both. However, I think that you all failed to consider situations where the offence is ongoing. For instance people in abusive (emotional, financial or physical) relationships or persons who are being bullied by family members, being disrespected or having their stuff stolen. Its easy to stand on dry land but u must swim across the ocean until u get there. 🙏🙏 Hope you will explore this one day.
