Here’s a summary of this week’s sermon:

Part of the Fruits of the Spirit series this weeks talk focuses on Gentleness. Drawing from Ephesians 4:2, which urges believers to "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love," the sermon highlights Jesus' interaction with the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11) as a prime example of gentleness and compassion in challenging circumstances.

Gentleness is emphasized as a vital virtue for Christians, reflecting the character of Jesus and serving as evidence of His presence within them. Contrary to societal perceptions that link gentleness to weakness, the Bible portrays it as a significant and powerful quality. Gentleness manifests in various areas of life, such as personal relationships, workplaces, parenting, and public interactions, promoting kindness, respect, and non-threatening communication.

The sermon discusses several key figures in the bible, the likes of Moses and David who demonstrated gentleness in their leadership and relationships, with Jesus being the ultimate model. His life and ministry were marked by healing, forgiveness, and compassion. Gentleness fosters stronger relationships, peace, and reconciliation, aligning with God's nature.

Gentleness involves humility, thankfulness towards God, and compassionate behaviour towards others. Max Lucado says, "I choose gentleness. Nothing is won by force. If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer."

Believers are encouraged to embody gentleness, showing love and respect, and bringing glory to God through their actions. By doing so, they become gentle giants—humble, yet mighty in spirit.
