Why Offense Can Destroy Your Live

📖 Get your FREE copy ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/essen... What happens when offense quietly poisons our hearts and destroys relationships, ministries, and even our walk with God? In Episode 10 of "Essentials in Leadership," Duane Sheriff teaches why refusing offense is essential for every believer who desires to lead effectively and live victoriously. Jesus warned that offenses are unavoidable in this life, but taking offense—and becoming a vessel that spreads it—can lead to bitterness, unforgiveness, and spiritual destruction. Drawing from Luke 17, Hebrews 12, and Matthew 18, Duane reveals how offense begins as a seed that, if left unresolved, grows into unforgiveness and eventually a root of bitterness that defiles many. Forgiveness is not forgetting, trusting, or denying emotions—it is releasing people from their debt and trusting God with justice. Unforgiveness gives Satan access to torment hearts, relationships, and ministries, while forgiveness closes the door to the enemy and opens the door for healing and freedom. This message reminds everyone to guard their hearts, quickly release offenses, and walk in the freedom and grace God has for them. #guardyourheart #leadership #leadershipskills #graceandtruth #duanesheriff #healing #freedom #christianliving #christianteaching #offense #bitterness #forgiveness #trap Welcome to the Duane Sheriff Ministries YouTube channel!
