Sermon, 6th Sunday after Trinity, 2024
In this sermon, we continue with our series on the purgation cycle of the seven deadly sins. This sermon focuses upon the sin of wrath or unjustified anger. Wrath seeks to destroy whatever may be causing one frustration, the ultimate end of which is murder. Christ Himself connects anger with murder in the Sermon on the Mount which is one of the texts referenced. Is there the possibility of a justified anger? Yes, for there truly are injustices in this world that we are called to correct. As recovering sinners, however, we should always be wary because our natural tendency is to rationalize our sin away.
