Message by Pastor Tyler Sollie
Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV)
A life filled with gentleness is willing to walk the path of self-forgetfulness
1 Timothy 6:11-12 (CSB)
Isaiah 40:10-11 (CSB)
I use gentleness as an EXCUSE for PASSIVITY
I see gentleness as an OBSTACLE to PRODUCTIVITY
“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.” ― Saint Francis de Sales
5 Tests of Gentleness:
Test #1: Words
Did my words benefit others, or just myself?
Test #2: Tone
Does my tone build a bridge or a barrier?
Test #3: Actions
What do my actions reveal about what is going on internally?
Test #4: Intention
What is my REAL intention?
Test #5: Reactions
Do my reactions need to be rewired?
Ephesians 4:1-3 (CSB)
