EMOTIONAL ISSUES: I'm So Angry


Icebreaker:
What kinds of things make you angry?

Overview:

Have you ever been angry but didn’t know why? I have. My mother struggled with dementia for nine years including three years in hospice care. She was stuck somewhere between reality and fantasy. She was neither dead or alive and I was mad. I was a control freak dealing with a situation I couldn’t control. God had her (and me) in His loving arms but I still had some lessons to learn. He was teaching me patience and appreciation. Get rid of anger or, better yet, get rid of the source of anger. Let the Love of God renew your mind.

Discussion:

Read Ephesians 4:17-32.

Where do we start in renewing our minds?
Why is anger so destructive?
When is anger justified?
How do we control our anger?
What are some ways to put our hands to work for good?
How can we use our words to improve situations?
Why do we put our emotions under God’s control?

Prayer:
Pray for wisdom when anger arises in our lives.

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: Tough Love

Icebreaker: What is your favorite Christmas movie? What is your favorite Christmas movie quote? Overview: In the Christmas classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” angel Clarence Odbody is forced to lovingly deliver some tough love when George wishes he had never been born. Clarence grants his wish lamenting that there must be an easier way to get his wings. After George has a frightening experience of what life would have been like had he never been born, Clarence says, “ Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” In the end, George realizes how wonderful his life truly is despite its difficulties. Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.   -- Warren W. Wiersbe God loved us so much that He sent His Son as the Baby Jesus to redeem us. He has placed preachers, teachers and a church in our lives to give us direction so we can mature in our faith. He disciplines us wi...
