Bitterness to Cynicism

Speaker: Troy Phelps

Date: 5/23/26

In this sermon, we explore how unresolved pain and disappointment can quietly grow into a root of bitterness that eventually produces cynicism in a Christian’s life. Drawing from Hebrews 12:15 and other powerful biblical passages, this message reveals how bitterness spreads, defiles relationships and congregations, and how God calls us to root it out through forgiveness, humility, gratitude, and renewed vision.
