As we continue in our series on emotions we take this week to focus on ANGER. Johnny Armijo, of our student leadership team, takes us through Ephesians 4:26-27 to learn how we might experience, process, and engage anger in a biblical way.

In this session of Emotional we are looking at the emotion of joy as a duty for Christians.

In this first session we look at a broad theology of emotions and how we should seek to engage our God-given emotions.

What do you think of when you think about a "Sojourner"? If those old lyrics "this world is not my home, I'm just a passing through" are going through your head, you've got it all wrong. In the apostle Peter's first letter to churches in modern day Turkey he wants them to understand that their sojourn is not to be one of avoidance or assimilation, but rather cultural transformation. But Peter recognizes that this sojourn will not be without trials and tribulations from the opposing culture.

We live in a world saturated with sex, but we lack a road map for honoring God in singleness. How do we steward our sexuality in tension with longing for relationship?

In Sukkot we see the mercy of the Israelite’s God, Yaveh, to spread his eternal protection over an undeserving, ungrateful, and often unreliable people. It points back to His protection in the exodus, forward to his promised protection in eternity, and tells us now in our wilderness journey (in our earthly tents) that he is still protecting us. **We apologize for the low audio quality of this recording. We are working to fix this in our next recording.**
