Our culture, including many professing Christians, has been bewitched by the seductive lies of Satan with regard to sexual immorality and impurity.

Scripture - Ephesians 4:25-27

"Don't let the sun go down on your anger." This is one of those often quoted verses that is quoted often in a way that the biblical author never intended. In this message Pastor Jason compellingly shows us the important truth of this passage in its context: If we truly love Jesus and His Church then we will hate sin in the Church so much that we'll feel a righteous anger about it. That anger should move us to promptly take loving action against that sin for the good of the Church and the glory of Christ.
