Sermon Notes

Series: Fruit of the Spirit

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)
