Much is written about the destructive consequences of anger. Yet, anger is an emotion displayed by God and Jesus on numerous occasions. Our journey in this series turns toward a discussion about the anger we embody. Why are we angry? When is it good to be angry? What role does anger play in your daily disposition?

Anger tries to keep his cool, but it's difficult when there's so much rampant injustice in the world.

He is quick to overreact which results in rash decision making and rude remarks. Ever since Riley turned, he's been fighting the good fight, organizing tantrums for important causes such as: "car seat liberation", "nap eradication" and "more cookies". It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

All of Anger's impatience and impulsiveness ensure that all is fair in Riley's life.

We think that when people are sad, the best thing to do is cheer them up. Often, what they need is simply our presence and an affirmation of their pain.

None of the other Emotions really understand what Sadness's role is.

Sadness would love to be more optimistic and helpful in keeping Riley happy, but she finds it so hard to be positive. Sometimes it seems like the best thing to do is just lie on the floor and have a good cry.

The character of Joy takes her cue from that which has been embodied by the people of God for centuries. We are a joyful people prompted by the stimulus of God's love, grace and presence among his people.

Joy loves Riley more than anything and has been her lead emotion since day one. She's lighthearted; a big fan of laughter, chocolate cake, and spinning until you get crazy dizzy and fall over.

Joy sees life's challenges as opportunities, and the sad bits as hiccups on the way back to something great. Hope and optimism dictate all of her decisions, and Joy works twice as hard as anyone else to make this happen. She just wants Riley to be happy. After all, isn't that the point of life?

In this introductory sermon, we will introduce the series by briefly exploring the complexity of human feelings and emotions. We will also introduce Inside Out as the film that will help us explore this important topic. Being fearfully and wonderfully made demands we have sense of being made up of physical, spiritual and emotional elements.

How should we handle it when we see things in our lives that the Lord hates?

We can learn a lot about God and ourselves by looking at the story of Jonah.

The Psalms were written to be experienced with other people. The Psalms are communal. Our journey is not a lonely journey absent from the stories of others.

Do we ignore a nation and world that is so severely divided as right now? People are hurting. People are disoriented. People are asking tough questions of themselves and others.

God is raising up a generation that is primed to make a difference in the world. He is making a way to turn our mourning into dancing.

While the Jewish concept of salvation may have been limited, they praised God mightily none the less. How much more so should we loose our minds in praise to God for the wonderful salvation he has given us in Jesus Christ!

On the surface, Jude is a poignant rebuke of false teachers. Deeply embedded in the letter is the author?s use of mystical understanding and literature that was familiar in Jewish folklore. Ultimately, the letter is an appeal to Christians to remain faithful and unfazed by current circumstance. It is a call to root oneself in the doxology at the end of the letter.

Philemon is a short and beautiful reflection of the pastoral ministry of Paul. There are no lofty theological considerations. It is simply an appeal in love for a brother to receive another brother. Hear how Paul?s appeal was for his brother (Philemon) to ?partner? with him in something greater than his own personal issue.

Like 2nd John, the text is short and to the point. The conclusion of the letter includes an emphatic compelling to imitate or mimic what is good. What model of doing good do we use or follow? How does the answer to this question function in the mission of God to the world?

Short and to the point. Not much more can be said about this obscure letter. But what if this was the only letter the church had? What does it tell you about life in the early Christian community? Emerging out of this short offering is a simple encouragement to abide in Christ?s love.

The human condition is competitive. We like the strong and the beautiful. But are we asking the right question when we ask "Who's The Strongest?"
