Fruit of the Spirit: Patience | May 18, 2025 | Pastor Jon Zondervan

As we continue our Fruit of the Spirit series in this week's message, we focus on patience. Pastor Jon explains that patience, derived from the Greek word "makrothumia," involves long-suffering and endurance, reflecting the very nature of God. He emphasizes the importance of abiding in Christ, understanding God's love, and keeping His commandments as essential steps to bearing spiritual fruit. Through biblical examples, such as Joseph and the patience of God, we as believers are encouraged to trust in God's timing and remain steadfast in our faith, even during seasons of waiting. This message is a powerful reminder that God's delays are not denials and that every season of life holds purpose and potential for growth. Join us as we learn to cultivate patience and trust in the Lord's perfect timing.
