Anger: Mark 3:1-6

Anger is the one vice that almost always believes it's a virtue. We rage, we seethe, we simmer — and we're usually convinced we're completely justified. This Sunday we're taking a road trip through Scripture to look honestly at the fire inside us: what it's telling us, where it goes wrong, and what it looks like when it burns the way God intended.

Check out the weekly sermon here or on our SRBC podcast on Apple Podcast and Spotify.

This Sunday we’re exploring:

  • Why the object of our anger tells us more about ourselves than the thing we’re angry about

  • When anger is righteous and when it is not, and how to tell the difference

  • What the Bible actually says about God's anger, and why the God who is "slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love" is not the same God many of us grew up fearing

  • The “HOT” diagnostic — three questions to ask when the fire rises: is the Heat of my anger proportionate, is the Object of my anger right, and is the the Time I’ve held onto anger appropriate?

  • How social media has industrialized anger as a commodity to be bought and sold

  • We’re exploring the following passages: Mark 3:1–6 · Genesis 4:3–7 · Exodus 34:6 · Psalm 30:5 · Micah 7:18 · Jonah 4:1–9 · Nehemiah 5:6–7 · Proverbs 16:32 · Matthew 5:21–22 · 1 John 3:15 · Ephesians 4:26–27 · Psalm 4:4 · James 1:19–20 · Romans 12:19
