Those brought up in their Christian faith with the King James Bible as their text know this fruit as "gentleness." But Christians brought up on more modern versions are given "gentleness" for what the KJV calls "meekness." This synonym knot gives us a glimpse of the intertwining of the qualities of the fruit of the Spirit. Join us as we dive deeper into what the Greek text terms as chrestotes, "usefulness, moral excellence, goodness expressing itself in deeds." Come taste the fruit of kindness.

In an age of lightning communication, instant gratification, and immediate satiation the need for patience may seem obsolete. But the Christian life is impossible without it.

It's being about the kingdom business with the right attitude of heart regardless of opposition. Join us as we examine this characteristic of our Heavenly Father and how He works it in us through the Holy Spirit.
