Fighting Anger and Bitterness // James 1:19-20

In this study, we'll delve into the critical importance of controlling our anger and speech. We'll learn how to handle our anger in a God-honoring way by turning to reflection, rather a reaction, when we're upset. And we'll learn what the power of grace is supposed to do in our lives with regard to anger, as we grow in godliness over the years.
