Anger: Feeling Without Failing
Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV)
June 8, 2025

  • 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil.

  • Be angry… (Ephesians 4:26a)

  • God has anger.

    The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Psalm 145:8)

    God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day. (Psalm 7:11 NLT)

  • • Good/righteous anger - Anger towards destructive evil.

    • Bad/sinful anger - Anger rooted in selfish and self-serving motives.

  • • Search for the idol behind bad anger.
    • Name and turn from the idol behind your anger.

    Anger that leads us to sin:
    Be angry and do not sin... (Ephesians 4:26)

  • Process your anger promptly. (Ephesians 4:26b-27)

    • Focus on God’s ability. (James 1:2-4; Romans 8:28-29)
    • Focus on God’s judgment. (Romans 12:19)
    • Focus on returning good for evil. (Romans 12:17-21)

    Introduce your anger to God’s merciful kindness.

  • Because relationship with one another is at the core of being a disciple of Christ, we invite you to find community and experience spiritual transformation through LCC’s groups, classes, events, and service opportunities.
