The Fruit of Gentleness

Aug 3, 2025    Pastor Rick Wright

Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. Scripture describes it as a meek standing and a mild spirit, modeled perfectly by Jesus and Moses. Gentleness leans into soft speech and strong synergy with others, choosing patience over pride, and compassion over combat. As Paul tells Timothy, this fruit is key to restoring others and growing in spiritual maturity. Gentleness leads to soundness in faith and plants seeds that bring lasting change. In a harsh world, Spirit-filled gentleness stands out—quietly powerful, deeply Christlike, and always redemptive.
