Patience

Patience – the one thing we don’t like to pray for because we know God will send situations our way to test and grow us in this area! Waiting is hard but the fruit of doing it well is worth it. 

Study this devotional to learn about why we need patience and how we can do it well.

When you know Jesus intimately, it’s only natural to long for your loved ones to know Him too. Often with this waiting comes weariness, sometimes even a sense of hopelessness. This encouraging devotional guides us in prayerful lament over those who don’t know Jesus as it reminds us that a loved one’s salvation is ultimately in God’s hands. 

Peace in the Waiting

In this series, Pastor Rick walks through the steps you can take to deal with the people in your life that make you crazy, and, in doing so, please the Lord. “When we please the Lord, even our enemies make friends with us” (Proverbs 16:7 CEV).

Have you ever prayed for God to change other people because it’s just too challenging to be in a relationship with them? Have you ever experienced relationship exhaustion because you’re tired of trying to help them be better? The hard truth is that changing them is not our battle to fight. In this study, we will learn how God gives us examples, tools, and encouragement to help us navigate dealing with difficult people.


How to Deal With Difficult People

In this plan explore what the Bible says about patience.  We are called to walk in patience in our love for one another as God patiently loves us, finding hope in the strength of the Lord as we endure trials.

Whispers in the Wilderness

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. No one enjoys waiting. You may have heard it said, “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey." But what happens when the journey has you stalled?

Whether you're dealing with difficult people, feeling worn down by waiting, or seeking to make a positive impact, these devotionals will help you cultivate the patience, kindness, and goodness that reflect Jesus to the world.

FruitFULL - Patience, Kindness, and Goodness - the Character of Christ in Action

In this small group study Dr. Tony Evans uses the epic faith, life, and career of Joseph to teach that God is more interested in your development than your arrival. Like Joseph, a kidnapped and enslaved boy who grew up to save an empire, the obstacles and obstructions in your life can lead to real accomplishments. Granted, detours are anything but convenient. They take you out of the way. They are longer than you originally had planned to travel. But they are necessary. God allows detours in your life because He cares more for your character than your comfort, more for your purity than your productivity. He cares about your destiny!
