People Lie, But Patterns Don't | Therapy Thursday | Jerry Flowers

Offense is everywhere, but how you respond determines whether it hardens your heart or propels your growth. It calls for self-control, spiritual maturity and a willingness to surrender reactions rather than be ruled by them. It's critical that we learn how to stay spiritually warm in a cold world and represent God well, even when surrounded by offense.

As we step into a new year, this message reminds us that growth isn’t just about setting new goals, it’s about letting go of old patterns. Real healing begins when we’re honest about what we keep carrying with us.

God didn’t withhold the miracle, He refused to perform it the way you rehearsed it. Healing, freedom and peace are found when expectation is submitted to trust and obedience.

Offense isn't just an emotion, it's a device the enemy uses to build strongholds, distort truth, and divide the Body of Christ. Freedom begins when offense is no longer allowed to control us, and we choose to forgive, letting go of bitterness before it takes root.

We cannot live out our purpose or even enter the Kingdom of Heaven if we do not forgive.

This is bold message calling us, like Caleb, to live with a different spirit and refuse a life of spiritual sameness.

This panel explores what it means for the church to embody true hospitality by following Christ—the ultimate model of love, humility, and service. Through Scripture, practical principles, and heartfelt reflection, we learn how genuine love transforms our interactions, shapes our character, and equips us to serve others with excellence.

Waiting isn’t wasted time—it’s where God shapes your character, reveals what still needs to die, exposes who’s really aligned with your destiny, and prepares you for a future only He could write.

We're discussing how to tap into the wisdom needed to live with authority, power, and mastery—shifting away from limiting behaviors and mindsets.

"Strange fire" refers to any attempt we make to offer God worship or spiritual actions that He hasn’t asked for, mixing our own ideas with His will. This message challenges us to discern between genuine obedience and self-made spirituality, urging us to honor God’s holiness and avoid substituting our will for His.
