I Thessalonians 4:1-12 | Our friends and neighbors see how we live and they know if we really love them. How we express our faith matters in big way at the local level.

1 Timothy 4:6-16 | Our speech and our action need to align. Instructing others with our words is only effective when we demonstrate what we teach with our lives.

When King Herod interviewed Jesus before his crucifixion, Jesus didn’t respond, didn’t utter a single word. In that tense exchange, Jesus modeled for us how to deal with mean and difficult people who do not have our best interest in mind. In this message, we will unpack the need for restraint, self-control, and even silence when people attack us.
