Breaking Free From Anger
Series: Breaking Free
February 24, 2008 Pastor Bill Bump
Ephesians 4:26,27 (Mes)
Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life.
Psalm 4:4 (NLT)
Don’t sin by letting anger gain control over you…
James 1:20 (NIV)
...anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
We can respond to anger in a God-honoring way, or we can respond in a way where Satan wins.
Responses to anger: That honor God
1. Don’t deny anger
2. Delay the anger
Proverbs 16:32 (NCV)
Patience is better than strength. Controlling your temper is better than capturing a city.
3. Define the anger
4. Diffuse the anger
5. Deliver the anger to God
