Questions

How do you typically handle your anger with God? Do you tend to avoid Him or bring your raw emotions to Him?

What's the difference between destructive anger and redemptive anger?

Why did Jesus wait two days before going to Lazarus? What does this teach us about God's timing?

How does understanding that Satan, not God, holds the power of death change your perspective on tragedy?

What are some things in our world that should make Christians angry?

How can we ensure our anger leads to redemptive action rather than destruction?

What's the significance of Jesus weeping with Mary and Martha instead of immediately correcting their lack of faith?

How can we as a church better channel our collective anger into meaningful ministry?


Life Application

This week, identify something that makes you righteously angry - an injustice or form of brokenness in the world. Take that anger to God in prayer, asking Him to sanctify it and show you how to channel it into redemptive action. Then, take one concrete step toward addressing that issue in a way that brings restoration.


Key Takeaways

God invites us to work through our anger with Him, and He will redeem it for good

Jesus' anger was directed at brokenness and death, not at people

Redemptive anger leads to restorative action, not destruction

We should be angry at what angers God, not what angers the world
