Sermon Highlights

 

Joshua 22:10-28

 

Jumping to conclusions can start with a misconception, lead to a confrontation, which requires some to listen to the explanation, and come to a resolution.

 

Let's listen to that person's side of the story and put ourselves in their shoes.

 

Let's resolve to not jump to conclusions, to listen to the whole story, and to apologize where we need to.
