    God is saying that there is love that is good, & that there is love that is not good. In the same way, He also says that there is anger that is acceptable, & anger that is not acceptable.

     | 5,571 views

    Let's talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions: fear. Fear will cause us to be beaten down, defeated, have drooping shoulders, shuffling feet, unsmiling, critical, distrusting kind of people. How do you know if you are living with the toxin of fear?

    This morning I want to talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions in this building today. It is fear. If there's anything that I think that this pandemic has created and spread more than the disease itself, it is fear. Life is scary. The world is scary Fear will cause us to be beaten ...read more

    There is not a lot about Joseph, a faithful man contained in scripture. Matthew 1:18-25 gives most of the information about Joseph. But what we discover here is that Joseph was a man whom you & I would do well to imitate in many ways.

    One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".
