Fruitful Life: Patience and Goodness - Luke 10:25-37
By Colin Ayers on 18 June 2023 at Morning Service in FAYAP and on Zoom
Colin begins by comparing the fruit of the Spirit, of which there are nine, with the gifts of the Spirit, also nine. He talks about a balance between the gifts and practical holiness, using the example of Corrie Ten Boom who was able to forgive her Ravensbruck prison guard only with God’s forgiving power. There is much more in his introduction, but then he focuses on
Patience: God’s extreme patience with us is our example and we should be patient as we win souls for Him
Goodness: passive and active, we are both salt of the earth and need to act like the Good Samaritan
