SUMMER SERIES: WEEK 5- DEALING WITH EMOTIONS
Faith Alive Fellowship Aug 8, 2021
“The most important commandment is this: You must love the Lord your God with ALL YOUR HEART, and all your SOUL, and all your MIND, and all your STRENGTH.” Mark 12:29-30 (NLT)
I. UNDERSTANDING MY EMOTIONS:
A. GOD HAS EMOTIONS
B. MY ABILITY TO FEEL IS A GIFT FROM GOD
“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...’”
Genesis 1:26 (NIV)
TWO EXTREMES TO AVOID:
EMOTIONALISM: All that matters is how I feel
STOICISM: My feelings aren’t important at all
C. GOD GAVE US PSALMS TO UNDERSTAND OUR
EMOTIONS
II. WHY I MUST LEARN TO MANAGE MY EMOTIONS:
A. BECAUSE MY FEELINGS ARE OFTEN UNRELIABLE
“There is a way that SEEMS right to a man, but in the end, it leads to
death.” Proverbs 14:12 (NIV)
B. BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE MANIPULATED
“Like an open city with no defenses is the man with no check on his
feelings.” Proverbs 25:28 (NAB)
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)
