EMPOWERED Patience: God is patient

2 Peter 3:9 | The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. 

  • Why hasn’t Jesus returned yet? What is God waiting for?

  • Do you think God is excited for His people to be with Him in Heaven? How is He showing patience?

1 Timothy 1:16 | But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. 

  • God is patient with even the worst sinners.. What does this mean?

  • How have you needed God’s patience? For instance, when has it taken you a long time to obey God?
