Wound Care Week 2 - "Name Change" - Pastor Joshua Miller

 Good morning,


As you will see the area around the booth is in disarray. Bare with us, the end result will be worth it. 


Our wounds can either define us refine us. 


Main passage: Ruth 1:8-21

1. Wounds can block healthy relationships 

Ruth 1:8-16,19-20, Psa 107:20




Hey Sigmund article: Stopping old wounds from stealing relationships 


There are a few ways to tell that an old wound is at play:


The conflict is constant, and always feels the same. 

Your emotional reaction to something within the relationship is intense and out of proportion to whatever seemed to cause it. 

Your reaction is difficult to shift.


2. Wounds can make us bitter

Ruth 1:13,20b, Eph 4:31


3. Wounds cause us to blame 

Ruth 1:13b, 20b-21, Gen 3:12-13, Num 21:5


Closing: Ruth 4:13-17
