The sermon is about the importance of patience in various circumstances of life. The speaker quotes Psalm 37:7, which advices being still before the Lord and waiting patiently for Him. The sermon emphasizes that patience is needed in all circumstances, especially in today's age of instant gratification.
The speaker acknowledges that waiting can be difficult, whether it's waiting in a doctor's clinic, sitting in traffic, or dealing with impatient children. The sermon highlights society's desire for instant gratification and the lack of patience in various aspects of life, such as wanting immediate results, quick deliveries, pre-prepared food, and summarized information.
The sermon emphasizes the need for patience, stating that it enables us to analyze situations beyond their surface value, helps us remain calm and avoid irritability, and transforms our relationships with others. The importance of patience is further supported by biblical references to the fruit of the Spirit, which includes patience.
The sermon mentions three biblical examples of patience: Abraham, who patiently waited for God's promises to be fulfilled; David, who waited for God's timing despite challenging circumstances; and Jesus, who exhibited patience throughout His life, particularly with His disciples.
The sermon encourages individuals to practice patience in their lives, trusting in God's timing and relying on the Holy Spirit's help. Patience is seen as a transformative virtue that allows for deeper understanding, peacefulness, and the fulfilment of one's potential.
We are a jolly congregation that started as a feeding program for less fortunate children and grew into a family of believers.
