This first week Adam will walk us through remembering we are not meant to carry the weight of bitterness and anger, but we can trade them for freedom and peace.

Text: 

• Matthew 18:24–35
• Ephesians 4:31–32

Main Points:

The Baggage of Bitterness

• Bitterness builds because of bad beliefs

The Baggage of Unforgiveness

• Un-forgiveness Chains us to the Past, Poisons the Present and Predetermines a hurtful future

The Carry-on of Grace

• Grace keeps us traveling light and a joyful journey in sight.

Application Point:

• Jesus offers us freedom and peace in exchange for the bitterness and anger we experience. Identify a person who has hurt you, and set down the baggage of bitterness by beginning to pray for them—or for God to help you to pray for them.
