Arriving, Pt. 5: Anger
from New Life Downtown · host Glenn Packiam
Murder may seem like a distant idea or a social ill. But Jesus makes us look beyond "certain people" or "certain weapons" into the human heart, to the anger and hatred that make murder possible. What makes anger dangerous? Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see how anger creates distance between us and the "Other", cultivates disdain, and culminates in destruction. None us want this cycle of violence and vengeance or to be on the path toward judgment and destruction. Yet out of fear and a desire to control, anger rises up repeatedly in us. Yet Jesus comes to us saying, "Fear not! You are not in control, but you are deeply loved by the God who is."
