Sermon Recap: When to Speak Up: How to Confront with Love and Courage

🎥 In our latest message, we explored the challenging topic of confrontation and how to approach it with love and courage. We often must address complex issues, but fear and uncertainty can hold us back.

This sermon teaches us the importance of speaking up at the right moments and doing so with a heart rooted in love and a spirit of courage.

​

Drawing from the biblical story of Daniel confronting King Nebuchadnezzar, we learned that sometimes, love requires us to say hard truths.

Pastor Clarence E. Stowers Jr. provided practical guidance on finding the balance between truth and love in confrontation, knowing when to speak up, and approaching tough conversations with humility and respect.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the balance between truth and love in confrontation.

• Learn when it’s time to speak up, even if it’s uncomfortable.

• Discover how to approach difficult conversations with humility and respect.

• Gain practical steps for confronting someone in a way that honors God and restores relationships.
