Patience

May 25, 2025    David Edmonds

In this powerful exploration of patience, we're reminded that it's more than just waiting - it's a spiritual discipline that shapes our character and deepens our faith. Drawing from Colossians 1:9-12, we see that patience is a fruit of the Spirit, empowering us to endure challenges with joy and steadfastness. The sermon beautifully compares our spiritual growth to carefully balanced rocks, emphasizing that true patience isn't about perfection, but about starting where we are and building upon our foundation in Christ. We're encouraged to view patience as a reflection of God's own patience with us, transforming how we interact with others and ourselves. This message challenges us to cultivate patience in a world that often values quick results, reminding us that God's timing is perfect and that waiting on Him yields the best blessings in our lives.
