Getting Mad without Going Mad - Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church

Responding to Mad

November 24, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • 1 Samuel 25

Have you ever had to deal with someone who is mad? How can we help someone else with their anger? How can we help the world with all the anger around us?

Getting Un-Mad

November 17, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • 1 Kings 2:1–9

A central tenet of Christian faith is forgiveness. Jesus came to earth for our forgiveness. On the cross, Jesus prayed to forgive those who tortured him. He taught us to forgive. His disciples had a hard time accepting it. So, how do we forgive?

Got Too Mad

November 10, 2024 • Rev. Christian Hong • Mark 3:1–6

Anger is normative and healthy when appropriate but when it begins to spike unnaturally, it shows us that an adjustment needs to be made.

Am I Going Mad?

November 3, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • 2 Kings 5:1–15

Anger can also be deeply destructive—to ourselves, to others, to relationships; to the Church, the country, and the kingdom of God. How do we identify unhealthy anger? Specifically, how do we identify unhealthy anger in ourselves?

Don't Go Mad

October 27, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Ephesians 4:26–27

The Bible never says “don’t get mad.” Be angry, but do not sin. Be angry, but do not hold onto the anger. Be angry, but do not let the enemy have an opportunity. That sounds great…but how do we do it?

Get Mad

October 20, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Mark 11:15–18

Is anger sinful? Is it evil? Are there healthy ways to express or manage anger? The Bible has a lot to say about anger and it's relevant to all our lives, especially in a culture where outrage is liked and shared.
