Help Me! | Angry, Part 3, By Bill Corley

Help Me! | Angry, Part 3 By Bill Corley Original Air Date: 2020.05.10 Life is full of ups and downs. Recently the world has been united in a way we didn’t expect – the Coronavirus. As we experienced the lightning-speed pace of changes and new rules, self-isolation, social distancing, economic failure and shortage of medical and other supplies, it has been emotionally exhausting to say the least. Life in general presents challenges that leave us feeling sad, angry, fearful and lonely, but never more have we been tested and stretched emotionally than we are now. It is our hope and prayer that this series is timely for each of us, our families, and our friends, as we experience the roller coaster of emotions that this time in our world has brought. The good news about emotions is that they are normal! However, being able to have control over them rather than them controlling us is the challenge – but God…has a plan! His word offers hope, direction and practical application to conquer the overwhelming emotions we, or others we love, wrestle with. We hope you will join us in our “Help Me” series where we will learn to understand the nature and source of these emotions and how to live in a godly way in spite of them. At Crossroads we free offer resources and counseling for those who need a little extra help. If you would like to talk to someone about what you are experiencing, please call the office at (760) 384-3333 or text (760) 301-4840.
