Patience

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 fruit of patience using Romans 15:1-7 where verses 1 and 2 say “We who are powerful need to be patient with the weakness of those who don’t have power, and not please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good in order to build them up.”
