Message by Pastor Tyler Sollie Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV) A life filled with gentleness is willing to walk the path of self-forgetfulness 1 Timothy 6:11-12 (CSB) Isaiah 40:10-11 (CSB) I use gentleness as an EXCUSE for PASSIVITY I see gentleness as an OBSTACLE to PRODUCTIVITY “Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.” ― Saint Francis de Sales 5 Tests of Gentleness: Test #1: Words Did my words benefit others, or just myself? Test #2: Tone Does my tone build a bridge or a barrier? Test #3: Actions What do my actions reveal about what is going on internally? Test #4: Intention What is my REAL intention? Test #5: Reactions Do my reactions need to be rewired? Ephesians 4:1-3 (CSB) -------------- [NEXT STEPS] SAY YES TO JESUS EMBRACE THE PATH OF SELF-FORGETFULNESS ENGAGE "THE 5 TESTS" THIS WEEK
