Key Idea: While the world is characterized by anger and conflict, the kingdom of Christ is characterized by love.

1. Anger, and the grace of repentance
   • Repentance: Turn from sin
     • Recognize and meditate on the character of Christ
     • Refuse to justify your anger (justified sin is the pathway of ongoing sin)
     • Rehearse and practice confession
   • Faith: Turn to Christ
2. Conflict, and the importance of reconciliation
   • We should reconcile because there is a spiritual cost to anger and conflict
   • We should reconcile because there is a relational cost to anger and conflict
