Amen and amen. You may be seated. Hopefully you stood for the reading of God's word in your home or wherever you are. Welcome to church. If you got your Bibles, we are in Matthew chapter 5, go there, and we are talking about anger. It seems kind of appropriate. I don't know about your house, but all the time spent together.

It seems like this might be an appropriate topic for us. Now, I know some people that, you know,

they're like, hey, we don't get angry. We're Christians. We just get frustrated. Well,

that's just code word for anger. In fact, what we're trying to do when we say that we're frustrated,

it's like this code word to say, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not angry. Frustration is something out there is wrong, and I am just reacting to that wrong, so I am just frustrated. Well, I think the reality is

is that we are just angry. I know this. In my house during the quarantine, Gretchen I have been playing this game since I'm home all the time now,

and I'm not normally home a lot.

We've been playing this game called,

Why do you do it that way?

And there are no winners.

Okay, so this sermon is really just for people who get angry.

And so Jesus is going to have some pretty interesting things to say about it.

I learned a lot about anger this week, and one of the things that I continue to learn is

there is a lot of sanctification in regards to anger that needs to happen in my heart.

Okay?

True story.

I write all my sermons in the woods.

You know that.

It's turkey season.

So one of the things that quarantine is really good for is turkey hunting.

So I go turkey hunting almost every day.

And I got my turkey chair ready.
