ANGER (3)

1. Bible Study

a) The Bible tells the story of how God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — loves us and wants us to love Him, despite our brokenness and tendency to go our own way (Isaiah 53:6). This relationship is the “main thing” about the Bible and it’s the “main thing” to keep focused on. 

b) God's Word is fully sufficient to prepare us for everything the Bible commands us to do. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to transform us into Christ-likeness. 

c) We study to understand God's character and attributes. Study the Bible anytime, anywhere. Each topic is ideal for personal learning but may also be adapted for a group as well.

2. Anger

a) We must put anger out of our lives. 

i) Ephesians 4:31 

31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

ii) Colossians 3:8  

8 But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

b) We should not be wrathful when we pray. 

i) 1 Timothy 2:8 

8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

c) A bishop should not be quick-tempered. 

i) Titus 1:7  

7 For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain,

d) We should be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

i) James 1:19  

19 This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
