Anger on SermonAudio

John 11:28-37 — Before Jesus wept, He was angry. Why Jesus wept at Lazarus's grave, and what He does with your grief today. If you've been asking why Jesus wept, or where God is in your grief, this message from John 11:28-37 is for you. This expository preaching message follows Mary out of the house and down the road to Lazarus's grave. It shows what the Lord does with Christian grief. He doesn't scold, and He doesn't explain. He asks to be taken to the place you've been avoiding. Grief asks a question that no right answer can settle. Martha gave the Lord a right answer on the road, and it was enough to save her, but it didn't settle her grief. In this passage the Lord answers with His own body. He groans, He weeps, and He walks toward the stone. If you've carried a loss for years, if you've prayed around it but never once said "Lord, come and see," this message is for you. The text is John 11:28-37. It begins with a whisper that calls Mary out of a house full of wailing, and it ends at the graveside, where the crowd splits over Jesus' tears. Along the way it takes up one of the hardest words in the chapter. The KJV says Jesus "groaned in the spirit," and this sermon explains what that groan reveals about His holy anger at death. It also explains why the tears of Jesus tell you He loves you. This sermon walks through John 11:28-37, explaining: - Why Martha "called Mary her sister secretly," and why eight whispered words reached her when four days of comforters could not - Why some grief makes you run and some grief sits you down, and why Jesus doesn't fault either - Why Jesus waits out on the road, and why you never walk into grief He hasn't reached first

Ecclesiastes 7:9 "Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools." King James Version

Outline: What is Jesus' teaching about the similarity of Anger and… Murder!? 1) A Clear Commandment 2) "Anyone who is Angry…" 3) The Fruit of Murder! Clear-Command Conclusion: Is Jesus teaching that anger and murder are equal sins? Why or why not? AI Generated.... This sermon focuses on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:17-26, where Jesus explains that He came not to abolish God's law but to fulfill it and reveal its deeper meaning. Pastor Geoff emphasizes that Jesus moves beyond the outward act of murder to address the sinful attitudes that lead to it, especially anger, resentment, contempt, and bitterness. While murder is clearly forbidden, Jesus teaches that unchecked anger and insulting others are also serious offenses because they originate in the heart and reflect the same sinful root. The sermon contrasts human anger, which is often selfish and fueled by personal offense, with Jesus' righteous anger, which was directed against sin while remaining full of love, mercy, and self-sacrifice. Even when betrayed, mocked, and crucified, Jesus responded with forgiveness and intercession rather than retaliation. The message challenges believers to examine their hearts, guard their speech, pursue reconciliation, and recognize their need for Christ's grace. Ultimately, the sermon points to the gospel: although no one perfectly obeys God's standard, Jesus fulfilled the law on behalf of sinners, offers forgiveness through His sacrifice, and empowers His followers by His Spirit to grow in righteousness and peace.

Theme: Because believers are new creations in Christ, we must obey the Lord in imitating Him by walking in love in our daily lives. Ephesians 4:26-27 gives the command to be angry yet not sin. Believers can see the difference between sinful human anger and righteous indignation by examining Jesus' three recorded instances of anger in the Gospels. Righteous anger, according to Dr. Robert Jones, is defined as reacting against actual sin, focusing on God's kingdom rather than personal offense, and remaining controlled by godly qualities. Believers must evaluate their emotions, entrust their anger to God through prayer, and resolve conflicts quickly to avoid giving the devil an opportunity. Ultimately, the goal is heart transformation and imitation of Christ, relying on His sovereignty and grace to overcome the bondage of uncontrolled wrath.

Someone has said something about you that is not true, it was believed, and no court on earth is ever going to clear your name: Psalm 7 is the song David sang from exactly that place. He refuses to swallow the injustice and he refuses to strike back; instead he hands the whole case to a Judge who, the psalm says, feels indignation every day. That verse is the one our generation least wants to hear, but Psalm 7 insists on the opposite of what we fear: God is angry because He is good, and the daily anger of a righteous Judge turns out to be the refuge of everyone who commits his case to Him. By the end, the psalm has turned to ask one question of everyone in the room: whose righteousness are you standing on today, and where did the wrath you have earned actually go?

What do you know about God? And how has it affected your life? It is one thing to know that Jesus saves, but have you trusted Jesus as your Saviour? It's on thing to know Jesus forgives, but have you forgiven others? How much of what you know about God has affected your life in such a way, that others would say that you are a Godly person, or a person who loves Jesus and keeps His commandments? Jonah knew a whole lot about God, but his heart was NOT aligned with God. Jonah 4:1-4 (KJV) But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

The sermon explores the biblical command to be angry yet not sin. It emphasizes the necessity of resolving conflicts quickly before giving ground to the devil. The preacher contrasts modern cultural apathy toward sin with the Christian call to hate evil and love righteousness. By examining examples from Scripture, the text illustrates that uncontrolled anger leads to broken relationships. Ultimately, believers are urged to forgive others as Christ has forgiven them, relying on God's grace to overcome resentment.

The sermon warns believers about the spiritual danger of uncontrolled anger and the power inherent in their words. It distinguishes between righteous anger at sin and sinful wrath that leads to destruction, emphasizing that Christians carry divine authority which must be handled with extreme care. The speaker argues that venting anger or holding grudges grieves the Holy Spirit and can cause harm to others through spiritual judgment. To overcome habitual anger, the transcript advises studying Scripture, repenting immediately, confessing faults to trusted believers, and seeking reconciliation with those offended. Ultimately, self-control is presented as an essential fruit of the Spirit that enables Christians to use their words for healing rather than destruction.

We are taught to BE angry over sin and that anger is useful when we respond Biblically. This contradicts a lot of false teachers and false doctrine. And our King James text is contradicted by the false Bible versions. Also Reference: Matthew 5:22, Mark 3:5, Psalm 7:11, Proverbs 14:17, Proverbs 22:24, https://bbfohio.com

This sermon analyzes Jonah chapter four to expose the hypocrisy of being angry at God's mercy toward enemies while caring more for personal comfort. The preacher contrasts Jonah's shallow grief over a withered gourd with God's profound concern for the souls of Nineveh, warning against confusing material prosperity with divine approval. It challenges believers to reject a dual life of claiming faith while indulging in worldly desires or political bitterness. The message emphasizes that true joy must stem from a relationship with Christ rather than fluctuating circumstances. Ultimately, it calls for decisive obedience and repentance before facing eternal judgment.
