Listen "Anger: God’s Command, or the Devil’s Foothold?"
Episode Synopsis
Ephesians 2:26-27
Sermon Notes: 1) Put On Holy Anger, and Make Sure It’s Holy | 26a 2) Put Off Cancerous Anger Quickly | 26b 3) Beware the Enemy, who Seeks an Opportunity for Destruction in Our Anger | 27
Reflection questions: 1) Does God’s word ever endorse hatred or anger? See Eph 4:26; Psalm 4:4; and Ps 119:53. Regarding Ps 119 – Does the Psalmist hate people, or their actions? 2) Does this passage warn against the dangers of anger? Can you name all three qualifications or guardrails for our anger? Which is easier – putting on holy anger for the right reasons, or avoiding the sinful excesses of anger? What are three steps you can take to avoid the three common errors of anger? 3) What kind of “opportunity” for the Devil is God (speaking through Paul) urging the church to avoid? Why should we be eager to avoid an opportunity for Satan, and what should we be eager to maintain as a Church? See Ephesians 4:1-6, 27.
