Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

It's good to have you in the House of the Lord today.

I want to encourage us all this morning to keep our heart free from offense.

Offense is everywhere.

Jesus said, as long as you're here, offense will come.

As long as we live in this world, someone's going to say something that we don't understand,

something that hurts our feelings, maybe your husband

doesn't listen to your opinion, there's always going to be reasons to take up an offense,

an opportunity to take it in. You know, it's interesting because, you know, the people that

you're around are one thing. But how about the people that you're around are one thing.

But how about the people that you've never even met?

And you know what I mean by that?

Everybody's opinion can go public these days on social media.

You begin to read somebody's opinion.

You hear what they're railing against.

It kind of flusters you.

You think I don't agree with that.

Why would they say that?

Then you begin getting all upset.
