First of all, Sunday was an AWESOME day! It was my wife’s birthday, Happy Birthday Misty (Age?). It was the day we decided to celebrate our youngest sons birthday, Judah turned 4 on May 14th. It was also the day we celebrated our 1st ever Wedding held at Out Of The Box Worship Center. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brandon and Caroline Kendrick.
237 people were in worship downtown on Sunday morning. This is really amazing because we had a LOT of regular attenders who were missing on Sunday morning. We had a boat load of new people, 1st time guests, WOW.
I love you Church!
Pastor Ronnie
We handled a very important TRUTH on Sunday, it was the TRUTH that Anger will wreck your life. Here is a reminder of what we talked about and remember that the sermon video will be up later today.
Anger is not a sin, it is the emotional response to a hurt. What can be sinful is our reaction or response to anger.
Paul said, in your anger, do not sin.
There are SPEWERS and STEWERS.
God said, a fool gives full vent to his or her anger. Spewers
Scripture says when a person bottles it all up and doesn’t deal with it, anger will rot our bones. Stewers
So how do we handle anger?
#1. Put out the flame, walk away, take the exit, take a cool down.
#2. Pray that God will give you a Sanctified Anger
Sanctified anger is what makes God angry. Things like injustice, hunger, poverty, and people that need to know Christ and don’t.
Here are a few tweets for your perusal.
