Loving Past The Poison | Pastor Kenneth Lock II | Evolve Church

Описание: Loving Past The Poison ❤️‍🩹

Betrayal is common but bitterness does not have to be.

In this powerful and eye opening message, Loving Past The Poison, we confront the uncomfortable truth that even sincere people can hurt us. Proximity creates opportunity, life transitions expose fractures, and betrayal is not always intentional or malicious.

Sometimes betrayal looks like silence when you needed defense.
Distance when you expected support.
Choosing comfort over courage.
Failing to correct others when your name was harmed.

Everyone will disappoint you at some point. A few will still be worth loving.

This message dives deep into the root of jealousy and envy and how they quietly poison relationships, distort perception, and destroy peace. Scripture reminds us that jealousy and selfish ambition are not from God and wherever they exist, disorder and evil follow.

📖 James 3 teaches us that envy thrives on comparison and Proverbs warns that envy rots the bones. In a world where social media has industrialized comparison, many are silently battling unprocessed insecurity.

When people do not know who they are in God, your growth can feel like a threat.

Jesus Himself experienced this. In Mark 14, a moment of extravagant worship was met with indignation and envy. That same spirit later fueled Judas’ betrayal. Some people stay close while secretly hoping you fail.

This message will help you recognize key truths
✨ Growth is offensive to those who expected you to stay the same
✨ You cannot collaborate with people who want to be you
✨ Some relationships require forgiveness and boundaries
✨ Forgiveness restores your heart but boundaries protect your future

Only love can overcome jealousy and envy.

📖 1 Corinthians 13 reminds us that love is patient, kind, and not jealous. Revenge hardens the heart but releasing offense sets you free. Romans 12 challenges us not to repay evil for evil but to overcome evil with good.

And if we are honest, sometimes we are not betrayed. Sometimes we are bitter.

This message will challenge you, heal you, and help you love past the poison without losing your peace.
