The Cure of Evil-Speaking

In a culture where "hot takes" and "burns" on social media are the norm and where people seek more "likes" for their open criticism and condemnation of others, Wesley's wisdom on how Christians should deal with conflict is essential. Based on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15-17, Wesley offers a practical approach to dealing with conflict and addresses how we should speak and act toward others who may have done us wrong or who are doing wrong. It doesn't involve speaking about them to another, but speaking directly with them and seeking every opportunity for repentance, reconciliation, and restoration. This sermon is a critical one for 21st century Methodists who are navigating a culture that is now known for its "evil-speaking." We can be different and lead others to the restoring love of Christ!
