Sermon: Ephesians 4:17-27
July 19th, 2009 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted today’s sermon on my sermon blog. It’s the 4th in my series for the summer on God’s answers to some of the questions we may have in our lives — this one addressing the question of how to control our anger. Based on Ephesians 4:17-27 it’s entitled “Can I Control My Anger — Or Will It Control Me? ”
Here’s a portion of it:
Several years ago, Temple University lost a basketball game to the University of Massachusetts by one point. John Chaney, the Temple coach , stormed into the press conference after the game and lashed out at John Calipari, the coach of the University of Massachusetts. He ended his tirade with the words “I am going to kill you!”—right in front of all the microphones. That outburst of anger cost John Chaney. His wife left him, his daughter wouldn’t even speak to him, and he was suspended by the university. He found that the repercussions for allowing anger to get the best of him were serious.
Yea — anger can grip our lives and cause us to do things we later wish we had not done. Sometimes the way we express our anger can be costly to us.
