Say What? Ok I'm Angry - What Do I Do With It?
Here are some questions to help you process this message and apply it to your life:
1. We all get angry sometimes. What’s your anger level like these days?
2. Jesus raised the bar and said that even being angry with someone is like murdering them. What do you think about that?
3. We keep bringing these messages back to this Big Point: We are not made right with God by anything we do, but by what Jesus has done for us. Where are you at with that statement?
Stay. Pray. Go Away. (and not necessarily in that order)
4. Can you think of a time when you were angry and you decided to STAY? (example: Instead of unleashing a bunch of angry words, you told yourself “Stay!” and kept yourself from talking)
5. When in your life did you PRAY when you were angry? (example: You said “Lord Jesus help me now!” in an angry moment, or you went to God later and shared your anger with him)
6. What do you think about the idea of taking our anger to God in prayer because he can take it (while the people in our lives might not be able to, and perhaps they shouldn’t have to)?
7. Has there been a time when you decided to GO AWAY when you were angry? (examples: You walked away from a situation because you were angry, or you realized you needed to go fix a problem you had with someone.)
8. Is there anyone in your life that you need to go fix things with (example: apologize for something you said)? What’s stopping you from doing that?
