The Forgotten Fruit: Long-Suffering
Manage episode 515757010 series 3669287
We talk a lot about love, joy, and peace as Christians, but what about long-suffering? In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked fruit of the Spirit that's essential for our spiritual growth. Long-suffering and forbearance aren't just nice qualities to have—they're part of the journey God has called us to walk.
Suffering is inevitable, but are you suffering well? Like Paul, we must learn to be content in every situation, whether we're experiencing abundance or hardship. This means putting on the full armor of God and standing firm when trials come. Too often, we try to escape suffering quickly, missing the valuable lessons and blessings God has for us in the process.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Galatians 5:22-23 - The Fruit of the Spirit, including long-suffering
- Ephesians 6:10-18 - The Full Armor of God for spiritual warfare
- Philippians 4:11-13 - Paul's testimony on learning contentment in all circumstances
The question isn't if you'll face suffering—it's whether you'll suffer gracefully. Join me as we explore what it means to endure with patience, trust God's timing, and discover the strength that comes from staying in the season He's placed you in.
Are you suffering well? Find out in this episode.
