All week long

I started this week with a negative interaction with a bank service representative over a fee charged to my account. I felt taken advantage of, so it has not been easy to let go of the conversation. I keep asking myself what does God wants me to learn from Matthew 4:17-7:29 that applies to the phone call with the bank?


The conversation was very civil at a verbal level, but the attitudes underneath the words felt hostile.

Ask members to think about interactions they had with people this past week. Were there any negative encounters? How were these used to help members prepare to hear this lesson, “Strive for Godly Perfection”?


To give you a head’s up, I’m on track to post my slides this week, Lord willing.
