The sermon explores the teachings of Jesus, focusing on the Great Commission and the nature of anger. The speaker distinguishes between sinful anger and righteous anger, using examples from Jesus' life—such as His anger against money changers and religious hypocrisy—to illustrate when anger is appropriate.

How Jesus raised the standard on angerJesus raised the standard from the Old Testament command against murder to forbidding sinful anger, prompting us to examine the difference between right and wrong types of anger.Matthew 5:21Ephesians 4:26
Righteous anger against religious coldnessJesus looked with anger at Pharisees who prioritized rituals like the Sabbath over healing a paralyzed man, exposing preachers today who care more about collecting tithes than delivering people from sin.Mark 3:5
Anger against making money in the name of religionJesus drove money changers out of the temple with a whip because zeal for God's house means being angry when people exploit the poor and use religion to build personal wealth.John 2:15
When Jesus was not angryJesus did not get angry when people insulted him, called him the devil, or spat on his face, showing that a true Christian never gets upset when their own personal convenience or ego is attacked.Matthew 12:24
Reconciling commands about angerEphesians commands us to be angry without sinning while also putting away all anger, which refers to discarding selfish, self-centered anger while keeping God-centered anger that cares for His glory.Ephesians 4:26–31
The second wrong attitude: sexually lustful thinkingJust as he addressed anger, Jesus raised the commandment against physical adultery to include looking at a woman with lust in your heart.
Why Jesus and preachers focus heavily on these two sinsAnger and lust are the first two sins Jesus mentioned when explaining that our righteousness must exceed the Pharisees, and they are the only two sins in the Sermon on the Mount explicitly linked to the danger of hell.
Job's covenant with his eyes long before the lawJob lived long before the law or the Bible existed, yet his deep reverence for God led him to make a covenant with his eyes not to lust after women.
Bible knowledge versus reverence for GodHaving abundant Bible translations, degrees, and theological knowledge does not make a person holy if they lack the fundamental reverence for God that leads to true wisdom.
