DISCUSSION GUIDE: April 6 – Justin Gill
“Range of Emotions: Anger”
LIFE: What has our Michigan spring weather done to your emotions recently?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read Mark 7:21-23; James 3:14, 16, 4:1
- What makes you angry?
- Where does James say our anger comes from?
- What are the top emotions that you struggle controlling?
- Can you identify the desires within you that cause you to become angry or to have other strong emotions? Give a specific example of a circumstance recently when you let your emotions lead you astray.
- Read Philippians 2:1-2, 6-7.
- How can following the example of Jesus keep our emotions from controlling us?
- How can you check in with yourself and ask, “What emotions were a part of my day? How did I handle them? Am I still clinging to them?”
- Read John 14:27.
- Did you receive the peace that Jesus has given you? How can you trust more in Jesus than in your emotions?
MAKE DISCIPLES: Offer to check in regularly with someone who admits they are struggling with an emotion.
