Sermon Title: The Fruit of the Spirit – Patience
Speaker: Pastor Kenny Stetler
Date: March 10, 2025 – PM Service
Text: Galatians 5:22–25
In this message from the Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Kenny Stetler explores the often-difficult but essential virtue of patience. Drawing from Scripture, historical stories, and personal illustrations, he shows how patience is not merely a personality trait or a self-help goal — it is a supernatural fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in the surrendered believer.
From dealing with difficult people to enduring long-standing pain to waiting on God's providence, Pastor Kenny reminds us that patience is more than waiting — it is contentment with God's timing instead of ours. This kind of patience can't be mustered up by human willpower; it must be formed in us by the Spirit.
Through powerful imagery like the unfinished sculptures of Michelangelo and stories of Christian endurance, the sermon calls us to let "patience have her perfect work" — trusting that the Spirit is shaping us, even in the waiting.
Listen and let the Spirit teach you to trust God’s timing, God’s way.
