  1. Had to come and watch this again after attending service this morning in CO Springs! Such a timely message from God to the church of how we can show up even more for ourselves and our communities around the world!

  2. Thanks for this series- praise Lord. This was me for so many years. God, the Loving Father revealed to me how i hurt others w my “justified” anger.
    It is not working – my life is put on hold – lost my fiancé and through this pain I found Jesus again and again.
    I need to change and become unoffendable.

  3. How would you handle someone who is in the body of Christ a brother or sister in the Lord who puts God down saying God hasn't done anything for them? That God answers everyone else's prayers but not theirs? And it's a constant gripe of theirs! However regardless this message has spoken to me. Thanks Pastor Graig

  4. This message hit exactly where I needed it at the exact moment I needed it a definite answer from god to the prayer for him to help me I had reached the end of my own understanding and knowledge of what to do but not of gods and alk I had to do was ask…..I didn't deserve his mercy and still he gave to me ..thank you lord for using life church and pastor Craigs message to get me from crisis to much needed reliefs

  5. This was a really good message. I love the verse about being slow to get angry. An angry response is not productive and just makes things worse almost every time. If more people were quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry this world would be a better place.

  6. This is the entirety of the context verse taught:

    "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

    6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone." 2 Timothy 3:1-9

    "Have nothing to do with such people."

    What do we do with that given how this verse is presented…?

  7. Preaches from a random book, throws in 4 verses, barely mentions Jesus, 20 minutes later invites people to give their lives to this Jesus we hardly learned anything about (and learned falsely of at that), then tells people they are saved and are in the family of God. False teachers are offensive.

  8. This is one you don't want to miss. For real, one of my favorite messages ever! It came at the perfect time for me; I wouldn't consider myself an "angry" person but when I am–you BETTAH believe I get "self-righteously angry"! In a funny but direct way, Pastor Craig delivered a message that deeply affected me. So good!
