Message
REVIVING THE WOUNDED HEART
“The Peril of Hostility”
Ephesians 4:26-27; Ephesians 4:30-32
“There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12)
“Enter by the narrow gate;
for wide is the gate
and broad (easy) is the way
that leads to destruction,
and there are many
who go in by it. (take that path)
Because narrow is the gate
and difficult is the way
which leads to life,
and there are few who find it.”
(Matthew 7:13-14)
Introduction: Hostility in the mind displaces peace in the heart. Peace is a state of untroubled, undisturbed well-being; while hostility is a state of opposition, resistance, and even warfare. Which one rules your mind and heart?
The Effects of Hostility Towards Others
Emotionally—calloused, isolated, angered
--anger can explode (Ephesians 4:26a)
--anger can implode (Ephesians 4:26b)
Spiritually—impeded, encumbered, unfruitful
--gives the enemy a stronghold in your life (Ephesians 4:27) (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
--extensive deterrent to your spiritual growth (Ephesians 4:30)
Mentally—bitter, vengeful, resentful (Ephesians 4:31) (Hebrews 12:14-15)
The Path of Bitterness:
--the bruised—not addressing the hurt
--the blind—not realizing the damage of the hurt
--the bound—not understanding the bondage of the hurt
--the broken—shattered by the hurt BUT GOD
Relationally—unkind, unsympathetic, unforgiving (Ephesians 4:32)
Physically—stressed, diseased, exhausted (Psalm 38:3-5) (Acts 3:19)
Application: How is the hurt you are carrying affecting you?
What is the hurt you are carrying costing you?
