Anger and Forgiveness

Harris Creek

April 28, 2024 • Nate Hilgenkamp • Ephesians 4:30–32

To live a Christian life, we have to imitate Christ. One place where some struggle is with forgiveness of others who have committed a wrong against them. Rather than holding grudges, quiet judgment, and anger in our hearts, we are called to forgive in the same way that Jesus forgave us. God deeply cares about how we are able to forgive others and let go of our anger.
