  6. A. Murder? Me? רָצַח (ratsach) = to kill in OT: unlawful killing of one human by another “Modern” issues: • Suicide • Euthanasia (‘mercy killing’) • Abortion

  7. 1 John 3:14-16 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

  8. Matthew 5:21-24 21‘You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, “You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.” 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sisterwill be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, “Raca,”is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, “You fool!” will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23‘Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

  9. B. Taming your temper! • Recognise anger HONESTLY(Eph 4:26a)-source -response • Release angerCAREFULLY(Eph 4:26b)-take a breath & count to 10(James 1:19-20) • Resolve anger QUICKLY(Eph 4:26c)-do not give the devil a foothold(Eph 4:27) • Root out anger COMPLETELY(Eph 4:31)-don’t leave a bitter root (Heb 12:15) • FORGIVE others unconditionally (Eph 4:32b) • LOVE others sacrificially (Eph 5:1-2) The Key?
