Gentleness for the Journey (8 of 9)
by Ernest Easley
With only two characteristics left to inspect regarding the Fruit for the Family.. join me for a few minutes in Galatians 5. The nine facets of the Fruit of the Spirit are all ours! Not some of them but all of them! The Fruit of the Spirit is not like the Gifts of the Spirit. When it comes to spiritual gifts ... we all have at least one and most likely more than one. God distributes the gifts as needed in order to build up His church. But when it comes to the Fruit of the Spirit, God doesn't give some of the fruit to some of the saints ... He gives all of the fruit to all of the saints. And do you know why? Because the fruit of the Spirit describes the...
The Gentleness of God
by George H. Morrison
What exactly may be meant by greatness is a question that we need not linger to discuss. It is enough that the writer of this verse was conscious that he had been lifted to that eminence. That he had been in very sore distress is clear from the earlier verses of this chapter. His heart had fainted-his efforts had been vain-his hopes had flickered and sunk into their ashes. And then mysteriously, but very certainly, he had been carried upward to light and power and liberty, and now he is looking back over it all. That it was God who had so raised him up was, of course, as clear to him as noonday. He had sent up his cry to heaven in the...
Strength In Gentleness
by Fred Lowery
We don't have to be preoccupied with protecting our rights or trying to control because our Lord enables us to inherit the earth or literally to inherit whatever we need. God has promised to provide. The greedy grab and loose. The gentle inherit and gain. Really there are only two classes on this earth. The greedy, those who are trying to grab everything they can get and eventually they loose. The Bible says what if you gain the whole world and loose your own soul or the gentle, those who inherit the earth. This week one of the Supreme Court Justices eulogized and buried perhaps one of the most liberal men to ever lead in America...
Gentleness: Gentle on My Mind (8 of 9)
by James Merritt
I don't know of anyone that disputes the fact that john wooden is the greatest basketball coach who has ever lived. His UCLA basketball teams won ten NCAA national championships in twelve years, including seven in a row. In his book entitled wooden, he begins with this story: My dad, Joshua Wooden, was a strong man in one sense, but a gentle man. While he could lift heavy things men half his age couldn't lift, he would also read poetry to us each night after a day working in the fields raising corn, hay, wheat, tomatoes, and watermelons. We had a team of mules named jack and Kate on our farm. Kate would often get stubborn and lie...
God's Tender Leading
by Daniel Rodgers
By the time we come to Exodus, chapter 13, God has delivered His people from the wicked Pharaoh of Egypt. They are now on their way to the Promised Land. The closest route to the Promised Land would have been to take the direct route along the Mediterranean coast. This would have been a journey of only a few weeks. a. However, God also knew that the shorter route led through the land of the Philistines, a pagan people that Israel was not spiritually mature enough to face at that time. 3. In God's mercy and grace, He chose to lead Israel away from her enemies. They had just been saved from Pharaoh...
The Fruit of the Spirit (12 of 16)
by Stan Coffey
If you have your Bible tonight we are studying the book of Galatians and I want you to turn to Galatians 5 where last Sunday night we talked about the life of liberty and the life of license and the life of legalism. You don't have to get off on one extreme or legalism or to the other extreme of license; you can live in liberty. But the only way to live in liberty is to live in the power of the Spirit of God for God's spirit to do His work through us. And it is amazing how the Lord has taken Sunday morning message and then on Sunday night continued it in another part of His precious word but that's exactly what He has done again today. I want to...

Most of us remember watching the Superman Television series or the Superman movies. Remember who Superman was in his everyday life? He was Clark Kent, the gentle, mild reporter.

Today, we're going to examine Matthew 5:5, which says, Blessed are the gentle, because...
The Fruit of the Spirit (5 of 5)
by Jonathan McLeod
How many of you bought some fruit this week? (Now we know who the unhealthy people are.) Why do we eat fruit? Tastes good (but as good as junk food?) Healthy (''An apple a day keeps the doctor away.'') The Bible talks about a kind of fruit that has much greater benefits: the fruit of the Spirit. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23). Imagine how different our relationships would be if we were always people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness...
From Aggressiveness to Gentleness (8 of 9)
by Ed Rowell
A woman was being tailgated by a stressed-out man on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of her. She did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though she could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.The tailgating man hit the roof and the horn, screaming in frustration as he missed her chance to get through the intersection on her bumper. As he was still in mid-rant, he heard a tap on the window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered him to exit the car with his hands up. He was searched, handcuffed, and placed in the back seat of the...
Gentleness Is Love's Humility (8 of 9)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: In a culture of rough-and-rugged individualism, gentleness is thought of as weakness, being soft, and virtually spineless. Not so! ... Biblical gentleness is ''strength under control,'' in fact, the Greek word translated in Gal. 5:23 ''Gentleness'' came from a term that was used of a wild horse that had become obedient to the bit and bridle. It was therefore not the lack of power, but great power under the control of a master. Christianity is NOT for the weak! Being a Christian does NOT mean being soft spoken, weak, easily intimidated, it is strength under control of a master! Gentleness means finding a loving and kind way to...
Blessed Are the Gentle (4 of 9)
by Jim Perdue
I heard a story about a man out West who owned a junkyard. He worked hard to make a living buying and selling all the salvaged junk he could find. But one day, while working into the late hours of the evening, he discovered that his junkyard was located on an oil field. He hired a drilling crew, and soon the black gold flowed abundantly from the earth. His junkyard was transformed into an gold mine. black gold, Texas-T.* In the Beatitudes we have a mine of spiritual gold. But many people go on with their life, scratching around on the surface, picking up salvaged junk and they never get beneath the surface and discover the...
In the Heart, we see the Soldier's Tenderness (24 of 24)
by Wayne Hinson
It is a sound that Motivates Having been a soldier in a combat zone, I know all too well that the morale of the troops is so very important with respect to their fighting ability and success. Low morale is worse that physical sickness, when it comes to facing the enemy. Many today do not even recognize that there is a war going on, but of those that do know this, their morale is of utmost importance. In the Exodus of the children of Israel, they were always motivated to fight, when the trumpet would sound. It reminding them that they were not alone in the battle, but that the Lord God was with them each and every minute. The...
Tough and Tender (12 of 36)
by Keith Krell
Do you remember the last time you were spanked? It was probably more years ago than you care to recall, but try. Perhaps you were discovered in a lie, or caught stealing candy from a neighborhood drugstore, or sent home from school for fighting. Whatever the reason, you found yourself face-to-face with an angry parent whose look of disappointment or rage let you know that your behavior was unacceptable. Still pleading for amnesty, you turned your back-or, more likely, were firmly turned until your backside was in a vulnerable position-and winced as you felt the sting of the first stroke. Other swats followed, until your bottom throbbed like...
Careful How You Walk! (25 of 36)
by Jerry Vines
We are going to talk tonight on the subject, Careful How You Walk. Verse 15 says, ''see then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise.''This is the seventh time in the book of Ephesians that reference has been made to walking. He is not talking about literal walking, he is using it as a picture of living the Christian life. He started back in chapter 2, verse 2 where it says that before we were saved we walked according to the course of this world. We lived our lifestyle in a worldly way. Then he switches over and especially beginning in the 4th chapter and uses this idea of walking as a way of picturing how we should behave...
