Summary

Is it possible to actually be “good” AND “mad”? According to scripture there are times when the right thing to do is get angry. In this message, Chip persuades us that it's possible to know when anger is the best option.

Introduction: How to be good and mad

  • Anger is a channel to maximize your potential in Christ.
  • God’s agenda for your life is for you to trust Him.
  • What’s at stake – God gave you this gift of anger to transform your life to make you like Christ.

I. God commands us to express our anger. -Ephesians 4:26a

II. God commands us to express our anger appropriately. -Ephesians 4:26b

III. Righteous Indignation: How God Used Anger

  • Jesus was visibly angry. -Mark 3
  • Jesus was verbally angry. -Matthew 23
  • Jesus was physically angry. -Mark 11

IV. God commands us to resolve our anger before bedtime. -Ephesians 4:26c-27

  • Anger Resolution = “Healing the Wound” so good things can happen.

Step #1 – Cleanse the wound -Ephesians 4:31

  • How? CONFESS and REPENT of unresolved anger!

Step #2 – Treat the wound -Ephesians 4:32

  • How? Extend FORGIVENESS and seek RECONCILIATION! As far as it depends on you!

Step #3 – Bandage the wound -Ephesians 5:1-2

  • How? Put the PAST behind you!
