Bro. HarreLl Henton
Minister & Servant of God
”Minister Harrell Henton has been working for the Lord for as long as he can remember. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Robert Holt Sr. he has made the grand decision to dedicate his full life to the work of the Lord and His church.
He is a graduate of Miami Carol City Senior High School and after finishing there, he matriculated to Florida Memorial College, where studied Communications. Beginning his path toward the work of the church, he became a Christian, being baptized into the body of Christ, on January 10, 1993, at the tender age of 9. From there, continuing to spend time with his grandfather and mentor, Robert Holt Sr., he began to learn an abundance of the Word of God, words of wisdom, and just in general becoming a man. Little did he know at the time that he was being groomed to one day take over the Ministry of the Brownsville Church of Christ. In August of 2011, Harrell was handed the torch in the delivery of God's word. He was installed as the full-time Minister of the Brownsville Church of Christ on the 22nd day of August. From there, he decided to make it his mission to continue to build the Brownsville congregation as a loving and family-oriented church until Jan 2026. He is currently the full-time Minister of Sugar Creek Church of Christ where he is a devoted Servant, Leader, & Man of God.
With the support and encouragement of his family and membership, he has begun to build this church, increasing membership, creating more programs, and strengthening the programs already in existence. As a young man leading a great church, many times it can be difficult, but Minister Henton understands that success does not come without hard work, but he knows that with God all things are possible! Brother Henton is married to a wonderful helpmeet, Kellee, and they have two beautiful kids, Kaleah, and Harrison. With a full-time position as a Chaplain, and a full-time Ministry, Bro. Henton has his plate full. But he is up for the challenge and having a close relationship with the Lord and living by the Word of God, he knows that he will be blessed, no matter what the situation is. Bro. Henton's encouragement to many, and one of his favorite scriptures, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy path (Proverbs 3:5-6). To the youth, remember the race is not given to the swift or
the strong, but to those that endure until the end.“

How Christians Can Handle Anger Without Letting It Become Sin - Min. Harrell L. Henton
“Be ye angry, and sin not… Neither give place to the devil.” - Ephesians 4:26–27
Anger is a normal human emotion. Even Jesus experienced righteous anger (Mark 3:5). The Bible does not teach that every feeling of anger is sinful. However, what we do with our anger can lead us into sin.
Anger can cause us to say hurtful words, act without thinking, hold grudges, seek revenge, or damage relationships. That’s why Scripture tells us to control our anger rather than allow our anger to control us.
When Anger Rises…
1. PAUSE BEFORE YOU REACT
James 1:19 says we should be “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”
Before responding, take a moment to pray and calm your heart. A few seconds of self-control can prevent hours—or years—of regret.
2. WATCH YOUR WORDS
Proverbs 15:1 says, “A soft answer turneth away wrath.”
You can speak the truth without speaking harshly. Ask yourself: Will my words help solve the problem, or will they make it worse?
3. DON’T HOLD ON TO BITTERNESS
Ephesians 4:31–32 tells us to put away “bitterness, and wrath, and anger” and instead be kind and forgiving.
Don’t allow yesterday’s offense to become today’s bitterness.
4. DON’T SEEK REVENGE
Romans 12:19 reminds us, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
We don’t have to get even. We can trust God to handle what we cannot.
5. FOLLOW CHRIST’S EXAMPLE
1 Peter 2:23 reminds us that when Jesus was reviled, “he reviled not again.”
When we are mistreated, our response should still reflect Christ. Anger itself isn’t always sinful. What we do with our anger can become sinful.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean we will never become angry. It means we learn to bring our anger under the authority of Christ.
When someone hurts you, don’t let their actions determine your character.
When someone insults you, don’t let their words control your response.
When you’re frustrated, don’t surrender your self-control.
And when you’re angry, remember:
You don’t have to deny your anger—but you do have to surrender it to God.
A Simple Prayer When You’re Angry
“Lord, I am angry, but I don’t want my anger to control me. Help me to be slow to speak, slow to react, and quick to forgive. Give me the wisdom and self-control to respond in a way that honors You. Help me not to give the devil a place in my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
REMEMBER
You may not be able to control what happens to you, but with God’s help, you can control how you respond.
Anger may knock on the door of your heart, but you don’t have to let it move in.
“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” — Ephesians 4:26
