In week four of our nine-week series "Drought: Experiencing the Fruit of the Spirit in Dry Seasons," Pastor David delves into the fruit of patience as described in Galatians 5. He begins with a humorous personal story about losing patience with customer service, using it to illustrate how our growth with Jesus is not always linear. The pastor emphasizes that patience is about capacity – the more we grow with Jesus, the greater our capacity to be patient with others becomes.
Pastor David introduces the concept of forbearance, explaining it as refraining from enforcing what others owe us. He draws a parallel to God's patience with us, encouraging us to grow in our capacity for patience by recognizing God's vast patience towards us. The sermon then shifts to the importance of waiting on God, referencing James 5:7-11 and the story of Job. Pastor David shares personal experiences of waiting on God's guidance and provision, demonstrating how these experiences have strengthened his faith and increased his capacity for patience.
