Gentleness

Series: Table Manners

Gentleness

June 10, 2022 | Rev. Ramiro Rodriguez

Passage: 2 Kings 2:23-25

Join Pastor Ramiro and Pastor Kay for Table Worship as we continue our "Table Manners" series! Our scripture story this week, 2 Kings 2:23-25, gives us a very perfect example of how not to offer the table manner of gentleness when we are insulted, threatened, or hurt. Elisha decides to curse those who are harassing him, and the outcome is in no way a measured or gentle response to the problem at hand.

Series Information

Galatians 5 tells us that there are obvious fruits that the Spirit gives and that we are to produce as followers of Jesus Christ. If we can experience and exhibit love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, we are well on our way to being the people God created us to be. God offers this abundance of fruit for each one of us, and we can offer these fruits at every table where we find ourselves.
