If you have been waiting for Pastor Tom to use an illustration from the 1977 album Music Machine: The Fruit of the Spirit, alas he hasn’t yet. But for those of you who grew up listening to this, here is a plug for patience by Herbert the Snail:
Have patience, have patience
Don’t be in such a hurry
When you get impatient, you only start to worry
Remember, remember that God is patient, too
And think of all the times when others have to wait for you
OK, now for the study questions for Sunday’s sermon on patience:
- Read Romans 2. Is God patient with us? To what should this lead? Why?
- Read Ephesians 4. To what other qualities is patience linked? Why do we need these?
- Read Proverbs 15 and 16. With what is patience compared? Why?
I love that song, but I always forget the last part, so thanks! Great job on the blog, too!
