We live in a world today that is easily TRIGGERED. And while Jesus warned us that in this life we would get TRIGGERED and offenses would come, you don’t have to stay in that place. In the TRIGGERED series, you’ll learn how to overcome offense, walk in forgiveness, and live light and free from the trap of offense.

What’s Your Trigger?

TRIGGERED!

Luke 17:1 (NKJV) It is impossible that no offenses should come

Luke 17:3-5 (ESV) Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” 5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

James 4:1 (NCV) Do you know where your fights and arguments come from? They come from the selfish desires that war within you.
