It is great to understand how God is concerned with our Anger. However, many people are left saying, “But How?!” It is not sufficient for us as pastors and believers in Christ to just say, “Stop it! Stop being angry!” So, if this is an issue for you I have compiled a small compilation of resources to help you get started.
This Sunday, February 24, 2020, we continued our way through the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7. In Christ’s sermon, he moves from a theological notion of righteousness that exceeds the religious elite of the day and his first application is anger. I do not believe Christ did this by chance, but with purpose. Anger is a problem that touches the hearts of most people across the globe. While we may all struggle differently with the outworking of that anger, we all still struggle. Sometimes it takes the form of mumbling under the breath and others the throwing of a chair.
In Christ’s sermon, he makes it clear that he is not merely satisfied with stopping someone from throwing a chair. The righteousness which fulfills the law of Christ must also be concerned with mumbled words and the bitter heart. As James says, “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” (James 1:9-20)

If you would like more help with your anger, send us a message. We’d love to get together a group of people to study this topic in greater detail.
