Part 2 - Overcome

Big idea: How to overcome hate

Main Point: Overcome hate with Good 

Application: The difference between being good and doing good is not necessarily about our state of being. We can claim to be good people, but our actions reveal our true character. Overcoming evil with good is not a passive state; it's a deliberate and active choice.

Overcoming lying isn't just about not telling a lie; it's about actively speaking the truth in grace, even when it's uncomfortable.

Overcoming pride isn't just about avoiding arrogance; it's about actively practicing humility by honoring others above ourselves.

Overcoming greed isn't just about not wanting more; it's about actively choosing generosity with the resources we have.

Overcoming hate isn't just about refusing to hate; it's about actively showing mercy to those who may not deserve it.
