Over the next few months our Oasis services will be exploring different emotions. We all grow up feeling different emotions, and many of us learn to differentiate between feelings like joy, sadness and anger. This is an opportunity to explore your emotions together as a family in the company of Jesus and help you gain insights into why we feel how we do and to stay emotionally healthy. There is a journal ‘Jesus and Emotions’ that you can work through together. If you would like a copy please let me know.
The film ‘Inside out’ gives a great introduction to the topic of emotions and their functions.
I wonder what makes you feel angry.
I wonder did Jesus ever get angry.
You can read the story in Mark 10:13-16
Chatting to God is a good time to express your anger. God can handle it. There are some ideas to help you pray about anger on the sheet. I’ve included them here.
God I feel angry about……
God this is what I want you to do about it….
God is there anything you want me to do about this…..
AMEN
The more we love what God loves, the more our anger will be like Jesus’ anger.
