Love Hate by Pastor James Sabin. Big Idea: Although gossip is a naturally accepted part of our culture, there’s something inside of all of us that knows it’s not good. Especially when we are the ones being gossiped about. God has called us to build others up and not bash them. Because all people are created in the life affirming and live giving Image of God, all are worthy of being encouraged and built up and not bashed and torn down. EDGE Student Ministries
