III. HOW TO ROOT BITTERNESS FROM

YOUR LIFE.

Get the root out!

Keep it out!

Ephesians 4:26-“Don’t let the sun go down upon your wrath.”

Replace any bad attitude with a heart of kindness, compassion, forgiving everyone as in Christ, God forgave you.

Replace your attitude of scorning, with one of thankfulness to God.

Commit yourself to fulfilling God’s priorities

of worship, church growth, evangelism and

disciple-making.

Watch your tongue.

Stop fighting and quarreling.

Replace your complaining friends with

positive ones.

“God said there’s a seed that’s been planted in your heart. You either

hate and be angry or you forgive. I said I have to

forgive.”

I have to forgive.
