Live Unoffendable

Sep 27, 2026  •  Pastor Keith Kippen

What does it mean to truly guard our hearts in the last days? Matthew 24 gives us a roadmap that might surprise us. While the world fixates on wars, natural disasters, and political upheaval, Jesus points to something far more personal and far more dangerous: the slow erosion of love through offense. We explore how offense, left unchecked, follows a devastating progression from betrayal to hatred, and how this is the very deception the enemy uses to pull us away from God. Since the whole of the law is summed up in love, lawlessness and lovelessness are one and the same thing. The enemy does not care what tool he uses against us. His singular goal is to get us out of love, because to get us out of love is to get us out of God. This message challenges us to ask a radical question: can we commit, from now until the return of Christ, to living without offense? That is the real last-days challenge, and it is one that touches every relationship, every community, and every corner of our faith journey.
