Gentleness (or meekness) means strength under control. Sadly, it is often mistaken for weakness. But both Moses and Jesus are described as gentle. We demonstrate meekness in our lives by learning, answering, restoring, correcting and living in meekness. (The last portion of this lesson is from Flesh and Spirit, by William Barclay.)

“The Peace of God" - [Philippians 4:6-13] - Who does not desires to have peace? This world can be a cruel, harsh, troublesome place - a place of worry, anxiety, Stress, fear and terror . . . WE ALL WANT PEACE - - BUT - most are searching for it in all the wrong places and all the wrong ways. This study examines what the peace of God is, (real, lasting peace), in contrast with the pseudo peace offered by the world & how we can find & have this true peace.

Genesis 47:13-15 Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 15 So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." There are a number of reasons that money fails.

Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Fear is common to all. We all fear something. Some fear is God given. Children come into this world with a fear of heights and of loud noises. Some fears are there to protect us from physical harm: snakes, darkness, suffocation, being burned, death, etc. In christians, most fear is a tool of satan

We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works. We are blessed for doing God's work. We are to speak and do. Faith without works is dead. Faith is shown by our works.
Jonah is a book about god's desire to save the lost and man's role in that. there are some great lessons taught in the book of Jonah. We will look at questions Jonah was asked in the book and ask those questions of ourselves.

Paul said 5 things to the brethren at Rome to motivate them to continue their service no matter how great the suffering became. the good always outweighs the bad. the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. God's providence works for us. Judgment is on our behalf. the love of God is on our behalf.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

of God.

around us: relatives, teachers, associates,
friends.
4. I. EXAMPLES IN WORD
A.(Mat 12:34-37) “Brood of vipers! How can
you, being evil, speak good things? For
out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaks. {35} “A good man out of the
good treasure of his heart brings forth
good things, and an evil man out of the evil
treasure brings forth evil things. {36} “But I
say to you that for every idle word men
may speak, they will give account of it in
the day of judgment. {37} “For by your
words you will be justified, and by your
words you will be condemned.”

husbands, that even if some do not obey the word,
they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of
their wives,
C. (1 Cor 8:10) For if anyone sees you who have
knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the
conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat
those things offered to idols?
D. (2 Pet 3:11-12) Therefore, since all these things will be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in
holy conduct and godliness, {12} looking for and
hastening the coming of the day of God, because of
which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and
the elements will melt with fervent heat?
7. III. EXAMPLES IN LOVE
A. (Mat 22:36-40) "Teacher, which is the great
commandment in the law?" {37} Jesus said
to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your mind.' {38} "This is the first and
great commandment. {39} "And the second is
like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.' {40} "On these two commandments
hang all the Law and the Prophets."
B. (John 13:35) “By this all will know that you
are My disciples, if you have love for one
another.”

your enemy.' {44} "But I say to you, love your
enemies, bless those who curse you, do
good to those who hate you, and pray for
those who spitefully use you and persecute
you, {45} "that you may be sons of your
Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise
on the evil and on the good, and sends rain
on the just and on the unjust. {46} "For if you
love those who love you, what reward have
you? Do not even the tax collectors do the
same? {47} "And if you greet your brethren
only, what do you do more than others? Do
not even the tax collectors do so?
9. IV. EXAMPLES IN SPIRIT
A.(Rom 8:1) There is therefore now no
condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus, who do not walk according to the
flesh, but according to the Spirit.
B.(Rom 12:11) not lagging in diligence,
fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
C.(1 Cor 6:17) But he who is joined to the
Lord is one spirit with Him.

price; therefore glorify God in your body
and in your spirit, which are God's.

A. (Rom 1:8) First, I thank my God through Jesus
Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of
throughout the whole world.

you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not

D. (1 Th 1:6-8) And you became followers of us and
of the Lord, having received the word in much
affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, {7} so that you
became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia
who believe. {8} For from you the word of the Lord
has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and
Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward
God has gone out, so that we do not need to say
anything.
11. VI. EXAMPLES IN PURITY
A. (Mat 5:8) Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see
God.
B. (James 1:27) Pure and undefiled religion before God and
the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their
trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
C. (1 Tim 5:22-25) Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor
share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure. {23} No
longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your
stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities. {24} Some
men’s sins are clearly evident, preceding them to
judgment, but those of some men follow later. {25}
Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident,
and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
D. (1 John 3:2-3) Beloved, now we are children of God; and
it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we
know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for
we shall see Him as He is. {3} And everyone who has this
hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
