The Root of Bitterness

This Sunday at Cornerstone we begin a four-week series called Nothing Between Us, built on Paul's words in Ephesians 4:31-32: Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

All year our congregation has been studying what it means to be the body of Christ, knit together in love. In September we looked outward to our neighbors. In October we talked about the words we say to one another. November gets down to whatever is still standing between us — the old hurt, the grudge, the person we've been stepping around — and what the cross of Jesus does about it.
