All y’all have heard that people were told in the past, “Do not commit murder,” But now I tell you: if you are angry with your brother, you will be brought to trial.
Matthew 5:21-26
Questions for Life Groups
- Read Matthew 5:1-12 (blessings) and then read Matthew 5:21-26, and this week’s Circuit Rider article titled Anger.
- This week, when you feel anger rise, do three things before you respond: Pause, to interrupt the spiral. Then pray, “Lord, show me what’s beneath this.”
- After praying, reframe what happened by remembering, “This is a person, not a category.”
- And if reconciliation is needed, try taking one step. Not the whole staircase.
- How can your group members help you be more receptive to hearing and understanding the Word of God this week? Pray for one another to be blessed by the Holy Spirit with greater courage.
