Life Group Questions

Opening Questions:

This week we looked at anger. Where do you find you have the shortest temper?  At work?  School?  At home?  Other? Anger isn’t always screaming and yelling. When does anger become destructive? What are other examples of anger? In the sermon we talked about not letting the sun go down on our anger. What can go wrong when we allow this to happen?

Digging Deeper: 

Read Ephesians 4:26-27.  Take a moment to reflect and draw to mind some anger that you have held on to or stuffed. You don’t have to share it out loud.  Is it about a person? A reoccurring situation? How could this grow and become more serious? What would it look like if you don’t address it?  How would it affect family, friends or loved ones? Read Psalm 103:8. Take a moment to reflect on the character of God. What comes to mind?

Life Application: 

Why is looking at the character of God important? Often our anger isn’t like God’s anger. It’s selfish anger. We often end up hurting the ones we love most. Rob challenged us with the question, “Are you fighting against someone who you are supposed to be fighting for?” What about people we don’t know who are experiencing injustice? How can our anger lead to good?
