Being right feels good. Being right and kind at the same time is much harder. This message looks at a letter from the apostle Paul to a young leader named Timothy, and a surprising picture he uses: a house full of gold dishes, wood and clay bowls, and even a bedpan. The point is simple. What you take in shapes what comes out of you. Along the way, we look at the cravings that quietly run through many of us, like the need for comfort, control, or to be proven right, and why a grown-up faith means letting go of the teenage version of ourselves that still wants to be in charge. Paul also says correction should be gentle, and that no one grows alone. Who in your life is allowed to challenge you, and who are you encouraging in return?
