Hey family,

Last week was a very emotional service. We started to examine times when we’ve been hurt, places where we feel justified to feel real bitterness and rage due to the harsh things that have been done to us – perhaps in the past, maybe even now in the present. As we looked at this, we saw that the religious response of stuffing down our feelings with platitudes that are hollow in the midst of tears is not helpful. Neither is exploding and releasing all our anger on the institutions, individuals, or systems that have harmed us. This week we’re going to take another deep dive into anger and discover how the scriptures can help us not only heal, but even use anger as a tool to grow in peace and trust in the Lord.

I hope to see you—and please invite a friend as we continue in our series, MODERN PROBLEMS, ANCIENT SOLUTIONS. We’ll see you at 10 a.m. Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn St. --Edwin
