Title: PATIENCE
Text: Galatians 2:22-23
Patience in the Bible includes the ideas of endurance, steadfastness, and perseverance.
PATIENCE AND GOD
● God is patient with history (Galatians 4:4; 2 Peter 3:8)
● God is patient with us (Romans 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9)
● Jesus demonstrated the fruit of patience in His life (Hebrews 12:2)
THINGS THAT TRY OUR PATIENCE
● Waiting (“how long?”) – learn to trust God’s timing (Lamentations 3:25-26; Romans 8:24-25)
● Suffering (“why?”) - learn to trust God’s purposes (Romans 12:12; James 1:2-4)
● People (“how in the world?”) – learn to love people as they are
(Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:13
GROWING IN PATIENCE
● Remember how incredibly patient God is with you (Psalm 103;13-14; 1 Timothy 1:16)
● Focus on heaven and the glories to come (2 Corinthians 4:17-18; James 5:7-8)
● Be slow to anger (Psalm 103:8; James 1:19-20)
● Ask God to develop the fruit of His patience in your life (2 Thessalonians 3:5)
