Wholesome Relationships VII, Fruit of Gentleness

Using the story of Elijah, this sermon illustrates that God often reveals Himself in a gentle whisper rather than through overwhelming force or fire. Dr. Passavant contrasts divine gentleness with the pervasive violence of society, arguing that gentleness has the power to disarm defenses and open individuals to new growth. Believers are urged to emulate this gentle grace in their interactions with one another, especially when dealing with faults, to foster a true sense of community.
