Patience

October 17, 2021 Speaker: Kevin Deyette Series: Fruit of the Spirit

Passage: James 5:7–11

Text: James 5:7-11
Title: Patience

"All men comment patience - few practice it" - Thomas A Kempis. 

Patience: Long-suffering and endurance through challenging circumstances and people (without freaking out). 

Be Patient:
1) When circumstances seem uncontrollable (James 5:7). 
     - God's not dead and He's not done! 
2) When people don't meet your expectations (James 5:9). 
    - "It's easier to love humanity than your neighbor" - Eric Hoffer. 
3) When problems are unexplainable (James 5:11, Job 42:12). 

Patience comes as we trust God is at work in our circumstances and relationships (even when we don't see it).

Establish your heart in the gospel and the promises of God (James 5:8).
