From Ephesus: Gentleness

Sean King

This Sunday at Venture Church, Pastor Sean King closed out our Fruit of the Spirit series with a powerful, surprising, and convicting message on Gentleness—a fruit often misunderstood but deeply needed.


Through humor, storytelling, and Scripture, we learned that biblical gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. It’s the kind of strength that looks like a tamed stallion, a powerful God stooping low, or a parent gently holding their child.


💡 Key Takeaways:


Gentleness is a character trait of God and of Jesus


Gentleness looks like calmness in conflict, kindness in response, humility in disagreement


Strength under control has the power to change hearts, homes, and even eternity


When we reflect God’s gentleness, we become a people who attract others to Christ


📖 Galatians 5:22–23 | Isaiah 40 | Psalm 1 | Matthew 5:5


🙌 “Gentleness isn’t passivity—it’s power submitted to the Spirit.”
