James 1:19-22 Slow to Anger
- What do you think about the definition of anger from David Powlison? Anger is your God-given capacity to respond to a wrong that you think is important. What two things does anger always reveal?
- Of the three ways to deal with anger (hand grenade, sniper rifle, lemon), which one are you?
- Jesus was angry and did not sin. God can be angry without sin. What about us? Where is the line between righteous indignation and personal frustration? Where is the line between God honoring anger and self exalting sinful anger?
- Turn to Ephesians 4:26-32. Make a few observations and suggested applications from the text.
- The sermon concluded with several ways to put away anger. Scriptures referenced were Matthew 7:3–5; Ephesians 4:32; James 5:16; Romans 12:19. Does one of these ways speak particularly powerfully to you?
