"Do Try This At Home: Gentle Strength"

🌊Matthew 21:1-17 | Living with True Gentleness

In this message, part of our "Do Try This at Home"series, we explore how the Fruit of the Spirit—especially Gentleness—shows up in one of the most paradoxical moments in Jesus' ministry: His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Jesus rides humbly on a donkey, then boldly cleanses the temple. Gentle or powerful? The answer is both.

🎯 Maybe you've confused gentleness with weakness...

🎯 Maybe you're struggling to balance strength with grace in your relationships...

🎯 Maybe it's time to try something new—and discover what true gentleness (praus) really means.

🗝️ Key Takeaways:

✔️ The Fruit of the Spirit isn't about trying harder, but about trusting deeper.

✔️ Jesus shows us gentleness isn't weakness—it's power under control.

✔️ True gentleness is being a gentle breeze and soothing medicine in a hurting world.

📖 Main Scripture:

Matthew 21:1-17 (Triumphal Entry & Temple Cleansing)

2 Corinthians 5:14-21 (Ministry of Reconciliation)

1 Peter 2:23 (Jesus' example of gentleness)
