MESSAGE OVERVIEW
What controls your reactions when you feel angry, overlooked, hurt, afraid, or disappointed? The same emotion can lead you toward healing or slowly take your life off course. Through the story of Saul, Pastor Tim Dilena shows the difference between living from our immediate feelings and allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our reactions, choices, and decisions. Saul once allowed God to use his anger to protect an entire nation, but later allowed jealousy and resentment to consume twenty years of his life. This message invites you to examine what has been controlling you, release what you have been carrying, and give the Holy Spirit access to every part of your life. Real freedom is not simply doing what feels right in the moment. It is learning to follow Jesus when your emotions are pulling you somewhere else.
