Gentleness and Kindness - Matthew 11:20-30
Jesus is meek, gentle, and humble of heart. But also . . . He confronts various people with some of the strongest language in Scripture. What are we to make of this? Is there some way the two images of Jesus can fit together? And how does Jesus’ behavior inform our own? When God develops gentleness in us, is it void of any severity? This week we’ll see the kindness in all of Jesus’ language and what it means for our interactions with those around us.
From Series: "The Fruit of God's Spirit"
Many of us desire more peace, joy, and patience in our lives, and we hope to remove things like jealousy, rage, and bitterness from our hearts. But how can it actually happen? It seems we need more than new behaviors, we need some of the deepest corners of our souls rewired. And what is powerful enough to give us that? This week, we begin a new series on the fruit of God’s Spirit—how it grows within us, and how we can participate in God’s amazing work.
