Bitterness & Forgiveness Bible Study

What you will need to do this study:
  • A willing heart to be open to how God will change your heart through this study
  • A Bible or online Bible
  • Notebook and a pen, or you can save to your desktop via word doc.
  • A trusted friend. This can be someone you can actually talk to face to face, via the phone, through letters, or via online chat. This person can help you with memory verses, be there to discuss what you are going through as you do this study. This person does not have to do the study, but must be someone you trust to share the intimate details of your life with. If you are new to an area and do not have someone to fit this description...consider finding a women at your church who serves in a ministry role whom you could form this relationship with.
Lessons one - four will focus on Bitterness…We will spend four weeks reading, listening, learning, praying and discussing while confronting bitterness. Bitterness may be something you struggle with or it might be something someone very close to you struggles with – either way, the goal of this study is to find out what God’s word, the Bible has to say about it and most importantly why we must leave it behind.

Lesson One/Week One
Lesson Two/Week Two
Lesson Three/Week Three
Lesson Four/Week Four

Lessons five – eight will be such a delight after four weeks studying bitterness, for we will change gears and study, discuss and pray for forgiving hearts for ourselves and those we know who are bitter. Forgiveness is what God had for us when He gave us Jesus. Forgiveness is what He wants from us towards others….

Be generic and say “a woman, a friend, a person, a man, etc.” When commenting on another entry, keep “encouragement” in mind. The point is to draw one another closer to Christ and in this study towards forgiveness of others as well.
  • Pray for yourself and the other women involved in the study to be set free from Bitterness!

Is It Possible To Be Truly Kind?

By Anonymous -
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31,32 (NIV) I cannot recall how many times I've been told how "nice" I am. Or when I was younger, "you're too sweet." I know that I've heard it enough that I believed it and it grew into pride. Thinking of it now seems a bit ridiculous, but seriously - I really have an issue with it. I work with much ambition to be seen as nice and kind. I work at being nice and kind. Imagine my shock to heart that some of my kindness is fake! Many years ago a woman from Calvary Fellowship Seattle gave me this small booklet with a yellow jacket. The title was, "How To Be Free From Bitterness." Truly it was a work God was doing even then, though I scoffed at the title and tucked it away on my bookshelf. It is also safe to say that I don't know ...

Luke 1:38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." I have been thinking on these words of Mary often this Christmas. Mary describes herself as the servant of the Lord….servant of the Lord. How did that play out in Mary’s life? She was probably ostracized for most of her pregnancy for being “supernaturally pregnant.” Scripture doesn’t say exactly what she endured, but it does record that God sent an angel to Joseph to explain to him that Mary’s story was real. So, obviously it was a big enough deal to require a heavenly messenger. We see in the Gospel of Luke that Mary had the joy of going on a trip during the later part of her pregnancy, birthing a baby in a stable, laying him in an animal trough, and being greeted by shepherds after giving birth. Wow, not exactly what I would have expected the mother of our Lord to have endured in order to welcome Him into this world. Not exactly what I like to think of when I...
