Looking at Anger

Summary: In a world that seems to feed on a "diet of outrage," how do we protect our mental and spiritual health? In this timely message, Dr. Marr continues our series on mental health by tackling one of the most destructive forces in our lives: unresolved anger. Using Ephesians 4 as a roadmap, Dr. Marr explores the vital distinction between righteous anger—which motivates us to address injustice—and the self-serving anger that acts as a gateway for the enemy. If you've ever felt trapped by a "root of bitterness" or found yourself justifying a grudge, this episode offers a practical path toward restoration. Key Highlights: The Chain Reaction: Understanding how hurt turns into anger, then resentment, and finally soul-corroding bitterness. The "Foothold" Warning: Why "going to bed angry" is less about a clock and more about not making a friend of your fury. The Myth of Control: How our anger is often a response to the "Law of Me" and our desire to control others. Practical Steps to Freedom: Learn how to limit, lose, and correct anger through the power of the Holy Spirit and the discipline of confession. Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:25-32: "Be angry and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity." Bottom Line: You may not be able to control the world around you, but through Christ, you can control how you respond to it. Join us as we learn to trade malice for kindness and bitterness for a tender heart.
