The Fruit of the Spirit: Patience

The Fruit of the Spirit: Patience

by | Jul 6, 2025 | ,

In our summer series on the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5, we explore how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to bear good fruit. Today’s focus is patience, meaning “long-suffering,” which counters our impatient, control-seeking nature. By rooting ourselves in God’s gracious patience, seen in His mercy toward Israel and Jesus’ endurance on the cross, we cultivate patience to endure trials, forgive others, and shine as witnesses to Christ’s love in an impatient world through the Spirit’s work.

On Father’s Day, God calls men to initiate love and forgiveness, as Jesus did. The sermon series on the fruit of the Spirit highlights love as the core, producing joy, peace, and patience when rooted in the gospel. Despite Satan’s deceptive lies, true fruitfulness comes from trusting Christ’s righteousness. Though our “buckets leak,” Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 shows we can love sacrificially by being filled with the Spirit to grasp Christ’s boundless love.

The Gospel focuses on the peace of Jesus Christ’s resurrection—a divine gift sought amidst fears and anxieties.
