Psalm 145:7-9, James 1:19-27, 1 Timothy 6:6-10
Emotional self-control is not something that is easily conquered. Our life expectations lead to frustration, which, in turn can lead to despair, and emotions that carry our goals and planning into disarray.
Have you ever asked yourself what makes you angry? You may find the key to what triggers this emotion are certain words, situations, or viewpoints you have about others. When you get angry, are you aware that there are ways to control your anger and be able to put you back at peace again?
Ephesians 5:1-20
We can plan all we want, but until we are in the right condition to hike a trail no set of maps will ever really help us. God wants to lead us on a hike through life that not only will we endure but also we will finish strongly for all He has us to do in this lifetime.
The four compass points of maturity are: spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual. The Bible points to all four of these aspects as needing to be exercised in ways that will serve Him to the utmost.
Spiritual
As you may have read or heard elsewhere already, The Relational Church will begin meeting at the Novi Public Library on Sunday mornings beginning September 13th, 2009. Our worship gathering will begin at 10AM followed by a time of refreshments and fellowship. At about 11:30 we’ll break into small groups to have discussions on a variety of topics. Currently, our adult group is alternating between theology topics and spiritual formation application in our lives. These groups will conclude at 12:15, as we need to pack, clean, and be out of the library by 12:30.
For our leaders, we will have a leadership meeting after our Sunday morning gathering on 8/30/09. This replaces the one scheduled for Saturday, the 29th. See you there!
