Relationships are the most wonderful and awful, pleasant and painful part of life. In this sermon, Pastor Mark examines three kinds of people—evil, foolish, and wise. Which kind of person are you?

All of us will have conflict with others; the question is if we will fight to the glory of God. Two things happen all the time in human relationships: someone sins and someone is sinned against. Jesus teaches us three things to do when dealing with our sin or potential to sin, and three things to do when dealing with others’ sin. In sum: sinners, repent; victims, forgive.
