Gentleness and Self-Control

The sermon series uses some of Forrest’s most famous quotes in our exploration of the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The Galatians passage is used weekly, along with another scripture passage in which the “fruit of the day” is evident. May our faith be more “fruit-full” as we run the race set before us with perseverance and endurance, keeping our eyes on Jesus, and encourage others to run alongside us. Run, First UMC, Run! 

This sermon examines the fruits of gentleness and self-control using Colossians 3:12-17 where verse 17 says “And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.”
