Corinthians 10,11
There isn’t a single one of us who hasn’t been criticized, bullied, or shamed for something we said or did. How do you face the critics in your life? You can try and avoid them, which never seems to work. You can try and attack them, which may make things worse. You can even try to live with it which makes your life worse. Is there a better way? Join us this Sunday as we look at how Paul responded to his critics in “Facing Your Critics”.
