In a global atmosphere of division and rancor, how do Christians live like Christians? How do we express love and concern, and overcome even our own anger and bitterness? In this program, Chip tells us, apart from the saving grace and sovereign influence of Jesus, nothing of lasting value can happen. From the book of Matthew and Jesus’ own teaching, Chip reveals the path to becoming a relational bridge-builder, regardless of our circumstances.

• No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21
• No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22
• Jesus' application:
• The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time.
• The parable of urgency: delayed obedience will result in dire consequences.
• Steps to humble bridge-building:
  1. Do you have anger, bitterness, or resentment toward anyone, past or present?
  2. Have you murdered anyone in your heart or with your lips?
  3. Will you confess this sin right now and receive God’s full forgiveness?
  4. Can you think of anyone who might feel angry or resentful towards you? Will you commit to make that relationship right “as far as it depends on you”?
  5. Will you STOP and thank God for His love and kindness and blessings in your life right now?
