How to Let Go of Anger and Bitterness | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene

Some hurts do not disappear quickly. A betrayal, an absent parent, a broken relationship, abuse, or years of small offenses can leave anger and bitterness working below the surface long after the moment has passed.

In Week 1 of Getting Over It, Pastor Rich teaches from Ephesians 4:26-32 about the grace we have received and the grace we are called to give. This message names the difference between repressing pain, rehearsing pain, and releasing pain to God. Releasing is not pretending the harm was okay. It is bringing what is real to God so resentment does not keep defining your future.
