Anger on SermonAudio

Street evangelism in the centre of Birmingham.

The sermon explores the biblical response to anger and irritation, emphasizing dedication to God as a foundational commitment for spiritual growth. It highlights the importance of recognizing God's sovereignty and purpose in challenging circumstances, encouraging a shift from reactive frustration to grateful acceptance and a willingness to examine personal responsibility. Through examples from Job and the fruit of the Spirit, the message advocates for a proactive approach to life's difficulties, viewing them as opportunities for character development and ultimately conforming believers to the image of Christ.

The sermon explores the process of removing anger from life by emphasizing the importance of meekness and the relinquishing of personal rights. It highlights the far-reaching consequences of wrath and encourages listeners to identify anger-inducing situations, transfer ownership of rights to God, and balance expectations through gratitude. Drawing on biblical examples like David and Abigail, the message underscores the value of yielding to God's will, even when faced with difficult circumstances, and emphasizes that true peace and joy stem from a life rooted in meekness and trust in divine guidance.

Dr. Logan shares the critical importance of addressing attitudes and character deficiencies, particularly anger and anxiety, within individuals and organizations, as these issues can be destructive. Drawing from Scripture, it highlights the significance of humility as a response to pride and encourages submission to authority, both secular and spiritual, for the sake of God's reputation. The message advocates for a measured response to irritation, moving beyond blame, self-defense, or suppression, and instead, committing situations to God, ultimately demonstrating a Christian life distinct from the world through thoughtful and patient behavior.

Chapter 32 introduces us to Elihu, a young man who burns with anger at Job and his three friends. He thinks he has the perfect wisdom to settle the argument between them and he is busting to have his say. And he certainly lets it rip! So does he have the irrefutable answer for Job's situation? Sadly, no. His passion and self-confidence do not guarantee wisdom. While Elihu says a few things differently to the others, he still shares the shortcomings of their strict justice/retributive view of God. Lacking a covenantal understanding of God, Elihu paints God as one who may save us from destruction by terrorising us in our dreams as we sleep or by inflicting us with immense pain. He also sees God as inaccessible and so rigid in his exercise of justice that he considers Job to be blasphemous in seeking an explanation from God for his suffering. This is a far cry from the true God revealed to us in the Son, who loved us, entered our world of suffering and gave his life for us. God does speak to us in our suffering, not to terrify us but to draw us into a deeper appreciation of his own suffering for us as the cost of his atonement for sin. So it is through suffering we come to know more of the love of the Triune God for us and are led to worship him.
