Fruitful Living - Gentleness

Discussion Questions

1. Read James 1:19-20, and just for fun read also Philippians 4:5. Now read Philippians 4:5 again, but add the previous verse, verse 4, to that reading.  What stands out to you?

2. Is gentle a word you would use to describe yourself? Would those around you use the word gentle to describe you?

3. I love when Philippians 4:4 is added to verse 5….”Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” When we put on an attitude of praise, our perspective changes to those circumstances hitting us throughout the day allowing the Fruit of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to do its work through us. What are you rejoicing over today?

4. Strength and power are used for good and for bad every single day.  Knowing that gentleness, biblical gentleness, is strength and power under control, how are you going to change the way you use your power? What changes do you need to make to make sure you are showing biblical gentleness?
