Bear with One Another

      19831106am Bear With One Another - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

If you are like me you enjoy interacting with #people, but on an individual basis it sometimes is more difficult.  This message is the first of two #bear messages, delivered incidentally by a man whose nickname was Bear.  Remember these ‘one another’ lessons were directed at Christ followers to tell us how to deal with other Christians.  What does it mean to bear with others?  Do we overlook every flaw or wrong action?  How should we approach others?  What exactly is meekness?  What does patience have to do with this concept of bearing with one another?  Where is a good place to practice this skill?  Is love a feeling or an action?  Who is our example of forgiveness?  Is bearing with one another natural or do we have to work at it?

Fruit of the Spirit

      19870830 Fruit Of The Spirit - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What makes a #Christian different from the rest of the World?  They bear #fruit.  Interestingly, my pastor at #BiltmoreChurch touched on this today when he said that it is the fruit of the Spirit, not the fruits of the Spirit.  His point was that Christians should have all of these characteristics not just a few (Brother Tommy makes this point as well).  Is #Love for others easy and natural or an act of will?  How do we get joy?  The whole world wants peace, and yet Christ has given it to His followers as a gift.  What is meant by long-suffering?  Is gentleness something we could use more of today?  Does goodness come from God our ourselves?  Faith produces what?  Is faith dependent on circumstances or situations?  How has meekness gotten a bad rap?  Was Jesus meek?  How about Moses?  Temperance or self control is not en vogue right now, but should it be?
