Ephesians 4:25-32

1. There are two types of anger (v. 26a)

   • Anger is a natural response to wrong

   • Our anger is corrupted by sin

   • Anger is destructive

2. Our anger must be managed (vv. 26b-27; 29)

   • There is a time for anger, but that time is short

   • Satan wants to use our anger

   • Our words matter

3. Anger must be paired with mercy (vv. 31-32)

   • God gives us an example of mercy to follow

   • We can show mercy because we've been shown mercy
