Romans 12:17-21 No Retaliation: Overcoming Evil With Good – A Counterintuitive Offensive Strategy (Part 2 of 2)
When evil is done to you, one question matters: will evil only wound you, or will it recruit you? Why would we imitate the evil done to us and thereby multiply it? Romans 12:17–21 forbids revenge, forbids fleshly retaliation, and commands believers to answer evil with good. Listen as Pastor Matt explain how striking back […]

When evil comes against the church, how should we respond?

In a world shaped by mere self-interest and shallow connection, God calls His people to something deeper.

It seems as if there are no quick solutions, but God has […]

Acts 2:29-32 Corroborating Evidence
