Seven—A Lenten Series :: 3/23/25 :: David Norris

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What do we do with our anger? In this message, Worship Pastor David Norris walks us into the deadly sin of anger and how it can quietly corrode our relationships, our witness, and our spiritual life when left unchecked.

Looking at James 1, Mark 3, and John 2, we’re reminded that anger itself isn’t always sinful—but the way we express it often is. Jesus shows us there’s a righteous way to respond to injustice, but our human anger rarely leads to God’s righteousness.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 Why the experience of anger is morally neutral, but its expression often leads to destruction

🔹 The danger of justifying, venting, or stuffing our anger rather than surrendering it to Jesus

🔹 How God’s slowness to anger teaches us to respond with humility and restraint

🔹 Practical ways to be “quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger”

Anger can mask deeper wounds like sadness, disappointment, or fear. But Jesus meets us in our brokenness and invites us to be transformed—not by suppressing anger, but by offering it to Him.
