The Destruction of Anger

This sermon, finishing off the series on overcoming anger gives 8 reasons why you must work to destroy anger. It ends with a reminder that there is only one true solution to this problem.

The God Who Loves

Everyone knows that God is loving right? That’s what we believe, but a loving God is a uniquely Christian truth rooted in the self-sacrifice of Christ on the cross. In this sermon, we look at the unique love of God and what we must do in response to the love of God.

Overcoming Anger

The first part of this series dealt with identifying the root cause of anger–our desires that have become ruling desires or demands. This sermon tackles the issue of who we biblical deal with those ruling desires. We see in James 4 that repentance is called for, but what does that look like? And how do we do it? These important questions and more are dealt with.

How do we fight against these temptations and trust through times of great adversity? In this sermon, we look at three key attributes of God that are going to kindle a fire of trust in our hearts, give us strength and carry us through the darkness.
