How to Handle Anger

March 15, 2009
Ephesians 4:25-32
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Senior Pastor

THEME: Godly anger can be your ally to solve a problem. Ungodly anger is your enemy destroying you and hurting those you love. God made us, sin scars us and God renews us.

I. The roots of all anger.

1. Frustration
2. Fear
3. Hurt


II. Channel Godly anger into
correcting a wrong. (Ephesians 4:25-26a)

1. Never attack a person but always address a
problem.

III. Confess repressed anger because it
imprisons you. (Ephesians 4:26b-30)

IV. Control your exploding anger by harnessing it into
constructive actions. (Ephesians 4:31-32)

Think it over:
1. How can you direct your anger into what honors God?
2. What anger is enslaving you and you need to repent of?
3. Thank God there is no problem we have that His power cannot overcome.
4. Have you asked Jesus to forgive your sins and lead your life? If so, follow Him in Believer’s Baptism.

Hear the Word...Write it down...Live it out…
Watch God work!
