The trap of offense

This sermon opens a four-week series called "Don't Take the Bait," focused on living free from the trap of offense. Pastor Jason explains that Satan uses offense as one of his most hidden and effective tools to either destroy or cage people, preventing them from fulfilling God's calling on their lives. Drawing from Luke 17:1 and the Greek word for offense (which literally means "the bait that triggers a trap to close"), the message makes clear that while being offended is unavoidable, choosing to live offended is a decision we make.
