Two of the clips

Vertical, subtitled, each a complete moment. Sermon Studio returns eight to fourteen of these from a typical sermon; the caption is the words he says.

Psalm 73 is one of the sermon’s passages. Each clip plays on tap, muted, and nothing plays on its own.

Three of the seven Inspiration Cards

One card for each day of the week, each a line from the sermon with its scripture, in the church’s branding. Days one, three and seven are shown.

Inspiration Card, day one: Bitterness rarely announces itself. It creeps in quietly, disguised as justified hurt — until the day you look up and realize it has been making your decisions for you. 1 Samuel 25:13, Hebrews 12:15

Inspiration Card, day three: You can be completely right about the wrong done to you and still be completely wrong in how you respond. Justified hurt does not automatically justify every reaction that follows. 1 Samuel 25:15-17, Ephesians 4:26

Inspiration Card, day seven: The antidote to bitterness is not forgetting — it is choosing, again and again, to hand the debt over to God. Every time you release it, you take back a piece of yourself the offense was trying to own. 1 Samuel 25:32-33, Romans 12:19
