Do you have difficult people in your life? Do you have people who have negative character traits that make it difficult to be around them?

Conventional wisdom says avoid difficult people, hurt them, or hold them in contempt. Pass judgment on them as inferior. Look down on them. Want them to hurt.

Jesus says, “There’s a better way.” Jesus provides wisdom on how to respond to these people in a healthy way. That’s what we’ll talk about this Sunday.

Next Steps

I will give up trying to fix people.

I will love people as is.

I will reflect on the apostle Paul’s words about critics.
