August 16, 2026 - Speak Life; Bind Bitterness
Send us Fan Mail Pastor Ashley’s sermon calls us to confront bitterness before it shapes our words and relationships. Envy, wounded pride, and the desire to feel right can feed resentment, but God’s wisdom offers another way: humility, gentleness, mercy, and peace. Using Moses’ quiet response to criticism and Tim Brown’s choice to help someone who had hurt him, she shows that strength is not retaliation. It is self-control. We are invited to notice where bitterness lives in us, pray for the people or situations involved, and ask God for wisdom. Choosing peace over self-protection lets God’s love speak through our lives. http://www.warrentonumc.org Support the show Warrenton United Methodist Church 341 Church St. Warrenton VA 20186 office@warrentonumc.org
