When something goes wrong, our first instinct is often to look for someone else to blame. But blame-shifting never fixes the problem—it usually damages our relationships and keeps us from seeing what God wants to change in us. In this lesson, “Blame Shifting,” we’ll look at biblical examples of people who blamed God, their circumstances, and others, and discover how honesty, personal responsibility, forgiveness, and choosing to “overcome evil with good” can strengthen our relationships with God and with one another.

Bro. Mike Gilbert explains the required duty of the Lord’s faithful servant.

Life is filled with frustrations, interruptions, and difficult people—but none of those give us an excuse to be unkind. In this lesson, “An Unkind Spirit,” we’ll look at how harsh words and attitudes can quietly damage our closest relationships and discover from Scripture how God can develop genuine kindness in our hearts. Through the example of David and Mephibosheth, we’ll see how gratitude, godliness, and generosity can help us respond with kindness—even when it isn’t easy or deserved.

God’s goodness is seen in the people He gives us, the portion He provides, the counsel He offers, and the eternal hope we have in Him.
