LifeGroup Discussion Questions: My Rage Issues

angry01This discussion is about last Sunday’s message, “My Rage Issues,” which can be heard here.  Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our podcast! 

Do your group members have their Bibles ready?  We’ll be looking up verses together to discuss tonight.  If you are the discussion leader, read over these questions yourself first, and pick ones that will work best with your group.

On Sunday, we talked about getting angry, and what that does to us and to those around us.  Steve showed part the “Christian Road Rage” video, the whole video is right HERE on YouTube.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.   -Ephesians 4:26-27, 29

Do you have a good story about how you did or didn’t react in anger in a tense situation?

What are the things that make us angry?  How do we usually deal with our anger?  Who/what do we take it out on?

Do we like to think about GOD getting angry?  Why, or why not?  What does His Word say about His anger?

Isaiah 30:27-28

Did you ever have to read the famous sermon “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God”  by Johnathan Edwards?  Why don’t we talk like that any more?

What is the ONE thing that makes God angry? Is His anger justified?  Why or why not?

Romans 1:18 

My anger… What are the things that make ME angry?  (road rage) how is that different from Godly anger?

On Sunday, Steve said “Godly anger eliminates sin, it doesn’t create sin.”   What does that mean for me?

How I deal with my anger affects those around me. If you are the discussion leader in your group, read through these verses, and pick one or two that you feel would be most appropriate for your group to discuss.

Proverbs 29:11

Proverbs 20:22

Romans 12:12

Proverbs 14:17

James 1:19-20

Proverbs 18:21

Matthew 5:23–24
