What Jesus's name meansMatthew 1:21 tells us that Jesus was given His name because He will save His people from their sins.

Losing patience with homeworkWhile helping his son Isaac with a long homework packet during Thanksgiving break, the speaker grew frustrated, impatient, and snapped at him.

The test in the wildernessDeuteronomy 8:2 explains that God tests His people to humble them and reveal what is truly in their hearts.Deuteronomy 8:2

Realizing the need to root out sinAlthough the homework turned out to be optional, the experience exposed deep-seated impatience in the speaker that he now needs to root out with God's help.

Faith that Jesus delivers us from sinThe speaker has faith that Jesus will deliver him not just from hell, but from his present sins so he will not stay frustrated forever.

Post-it notes versus the Holy SpiritWhile some people use Post-it notes around their office to manage anger, believers have something much better: the Holy Spirit.

Hating sin by the SpiritFeeling a deep sorrow and hatred for his impatience showed the speaker that the Holy Spirit is actively working inside him.

The danger of malicious malwareA virus that secretly sends out nasty emails to contacts would immediately cause anyone to unplug and clean their computer.

Tolerating the virus of sinBelievers are often content to leave anger, bitterness, and impatience in themselves, even though it spews out hurtful things just like malware.

Fixing a hacked church websiteWhen the church website was hacked and redirected users to ads, the community quickly came together to fix it, raising the question of whether we are just as diligent with the sin inside us.

A better kind of name it and claim itInstead of the common prosperity gospel focused on cars and houses, believers should claim victory over their sins based on Jesus's promise.

A sinner with a promiseThough he still struggles with impatience and anger, the speaker has the confident hope that God will help him win the war against sin.
