The Fruit of Gentleness

| John 8:1-11

Gentleness is often mistaken for weakness, passivity, or simply being “nice.” But the gentleness Scripture describes is something far stronger. It is strength under control—a life so secure in Christ that we no longer need to overpower others, prove ourselves, or always have the last word. In this message we’ll discover how the Holy Spirit produces a gentleness in us that changes the way we respond to conflict, handle people, and carry the strength God has given us.
