Welcome to the Wu Church Podcast. Are you choosing bitterness or forgiveness?

We've all experienced hurt that leaves us wounded. When this occurs, we have a choice to make.

Live with offense or walk the path of forgiveness.

Today, Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. continues our collection of talks.

I hate you but it's killing me. In this message, a bitter pill

exploring the effects of offense and the opportunity Jesus provides

to live free of bitterness and resentment.

Now let's lean into the message together.

Matthew chapter 24. I want to start in verse 10. It says this. This is Jesus.

I want to preach it today from the New King James version. It's how I learned it.

And then many will be offended. We'll betray one another. We'll hate one another.

Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

But he, someone say, but he. But he who endures to the end,

shall be or will be saved.

What does it profit you if you're taking ground if you don't know how to stand your ground?

And today, I want to preach from Matthew 24 and I've got a message on my heart.
