Podcasts about Meekness

In the final episode of our Be a Bucket Filler series, we close with two powerful fruits of the Spirit—meekness and temperance. Galatians 5:22–25 reminds us that these qualities are not signs of weakness or repression, but marks of a Spirit-controlled life.Meekness is the quiet strength that comes from humility. It's the ability to respond with grace instead of pride, to lead with love instead of force. Temperance, or self-control, is the discipline to say no to the flesh and yes to the Spirit—especially when emotions run high or temptations come knocking.Together, meekness and temperance empower us to be steady, thoughtful, and caring in our relationships. They help us fill others' buckets by creating safe spaces, diffusing conflict, and modeling the character of Christ.Join us as we reflect on what it means to walk in true spiritual maturity and how these final fruits help us pour out God's love with wisdom, strength, and purpose.

"Blessed are the meek," declares God the Son, "for they will inherit the Earth." Meek? Rhymes with "weak." Is that really an attribute we want to have? God in his word to us, his image bearers, says, "Absolutely!" Keith Pond opens up what it means to be meek, citing the examples of Moses and Jesus himself, and then delves into Psalm 37 to help us understand how we are to live this out in our daily lives.

In this episode we look at what meekness truly is and why the misunderstanding of it has greatly hindered and harmed the modern church. We look at how meekness is used by God to expertly train us for the spiritual war that we're daily engaged in. We look at Moses and Jesus and see what we can learn from the meekness they showed forth in their life. Meekness is a fruit of the Spirit and we'll find if we cultivate it properly, it'll bring with it peace and joy into our life!

Meekness can be described as quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive. Those are typically not words you would want to be described as, but that's exactly how Jesus lived His life. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that meekness doesn't mean weakness. If you want to live a life according to Jesus, you have to remain meek.

In this bible study, we cover Matthew 5.1-12 looking at the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are a list of 8 statements from Jesus, each with a promise. “Blessed” - happy, joyful, on the right path- is the person who follows each of Jesus' calls. This includes a call to be poor in spirit, to mourn our sinful state, to be meek, to thirst for righteousness, to show mercy, to be pure of heart, to be a peacemaker, and to rejoice in persecution.The Beatitudes are a progressive ladder, with each separate step being critical to understand before attempting the next step. Some of the steps are easier for some than others, and that's ok, but we need to take these one at a time, and do our best to follow Jesus' call. Keeping in mind that on our own, without the help of the Holy Spirit, we are not capable of any of them.

Meekness is not weakness; it is the very nature of Christ. It takes strength to walk in humility, and it also comes with great reward. By Pastor Shawn Lyons. 

Dr. David Swanson | Matthew 5:5Meekness is an often misunderstood quality, one often associated with being a doormat. It is not that, but a quality of heart that is humble and other-centered. Like Jesus.

Meekness is not weakness, but is strength under control - and it is a key to living a happy life! On today's episode Pastor Cameron reminds us of the value of meekness!

by Heidi Hughes

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Gospel Wisdom from the book of James

Let's continue to expose and remove pride from our lives, and live in true humility and meekness before the Lord! Meekness is not weakness, but full surrender and obedience to the will of our Heavenly Father. God is faithful and He will uphold His promise to lift up the humble!

In this episode of Roadmap to Heaven, Adam Wright reflects on the significance of St. Joseph, especially on his feast day. Msgr. Timothy Cronin joins Adam for their weekly conversation on the beatitudes, focusing on meekness and its implications for spiritual growth. The episode emphasizes the importance of humility, generosity, and the journey of faith, drawing parallels between the teachings of Jesus and the model of St. Joseph. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to deepen their spiritual practices and draw closer to God through prayer and reflection.   Takeaways St. Joseph is a model for husbands and fathers. His silence and obedience are powerful examples of faith. Meekness is strength, not weakness. The Beatitudes guide us in our spiritual journey. We are called to transform our world through faith. Generosity is a reflection of our love for God. The journey of faith is a shared experience. Inheriting the land signifies God's blessings in our lives. We should reflect on the gifts we've been given during Lent. St. Joseph's humility is a path to holiness. Download the Covenant Network app today!

As we march through the Beatitudes of Jesus we come to the place that I believe is vital to being a mature adult, and to anyone in a position of authority. Jesus tells us, “Blessed are the Gentle.” Gentle is also the word Meek. As the saying goes, “Meekness is not weakness.” In fact it is just the opposite. It actual means, “Power under control.” Which is a valuable quality for developing into a healthy adult.———————————————————————————————Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc:https://nbcc.com/churchessentialsConnect with us on Social Media:Website: nbcc.com/Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorcoInstagram: instagram.com/nbccnorcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PVnXm8zSPHAYVyGw----------------------------------------If you have any prayer requests or questions, please message us on our social media or send us an email at hello@nbcc.com.

In this episode, we come together to reflect on our personal relationships with Christ and the importance of understanding the New Testament. We discuss the role of meekness and humility in our walk with God, the nature of His character, and the call to place our faith and trust in Him. Through personal stories and shared experiences, we explore how these truths shape our daily lives. The conversation concludes with a lighthearted discussion about family and future plans, reminding us of the importance of fellowship in our journey of faith.

The Beatitudes, Pt. 3 | March 2, 2025Pastor Wes Morris Matthew 5:5 (NIV) Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.√ MY TWISTED THINKINGMatthew 5:43-44 (NIV) You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.√ MY PRIDEFUL HEARTProverbs 11:2 (NIV) When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.I will always behave in a manner consistent with the way I see myself. STRONG ENOUGH TO BE MEEKMeekness isn't weakness, it's strength under control. I. RELY ON GOD'S JUSTICE, NOT MY OWN.Exodus 14:10-14 (NIV) As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn't we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians'? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”Romans 12:19 (MSG) Don't insist on getting even; that's not for you to do. “I'll do the judging,” says God. “I'll take care of it.”Meekness is not about being passive—it's about living with quiet confidence that God is in control.II. DEVELOP A SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS.James 3:13-18 (MSG) Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Mean-spirited ambition isn't wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn't wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn't wisdom. Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. Those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.III. FIND STRENGTH IN THE POWER OF GOD. Ephesians 3:19-20 (TLB) May you be able to feel and understand how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never fully understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself.Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. LIVING IT OUTWhen someone wrongs me, do I seek revenge or choose grace?Do I use my influence to serve others or to elevate myself?Am I gentle in my words and actions, even when I'm frustrated?Do I value people for who they are, or for what they can do for me?Am I patient with God's timing, or do I try to force things to happen?Do I prioritize reconciliation over winning an argument?

Some translations render the eighth fruit of the spirit as “gentleness”, while others as “meekness”.  With Jesus, we see both manifested, with meekness as the most outstanding. Meekness is receptivity to God and the things of God. His words in the garden, “Not my will, but Yours be done”, are the bravest words ever spoken, the most loving human act ever performed, the ultimate expression of meekness. The Greek word prautes encompasses two distinct meanings and can be translated as either “gentleness” or “meekness”. Mark 14:32-34 He was very distressed, troubled, and deeply grieved to the point of death. Matthew 26:39 “Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Isaiah 50:4-9 God will help him endure the physical abuse, the suffering, and humiliation. Isaiah 52:13-15 ESV Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonished at you–his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind– REV Isaiah 52:14 Just as many were appalled at you (his appearance was marred beyond human resemblance, and his form beyond that of human beings). Isaiah 53:1-12 Jesus knew what the “cup” meant. Psalm 22:7-8, 16-19; 69:20-21 John 5:19 and 30 Jesus was always meek to the Father's will. Philippians 2:5-8 Be humble and meek like Jesus. James 1:21; 3:13 Ephesians 4:1-3 Meek to others with boundaries Galatians 6:1-11 Help others with gentleness 2 Timothy 2:22-26 1 Peter 3:15The post Fruit of the Spirit in Christ 8: The Gentleness of Christ first appeared on Living Hope.

We are called to praise in meekness.

As Professor of Church History and Doctrine Anthony Sweat dropped off a recent painting entitled Jesus of Nazareth, he was met with the response, “That's not what Jesus looks like.” After a few laughs, Professor Sweat revealed that he intentionally avoided the Euro-centric depiction of Christ. Rather, he implemented elements of Roman Judea men—middle height, honey or olive-colored skin, and shorter black hair and beards. In this episode, Prof. Sweat answers the imperative question that came from this experience, “How do we know the Lord—his characteristics, priorities, doctrines, and commands?” In answering this question, he introduces a four-part study approach from Doctrine and Covenants 19:23 to guide us through our efforts to truly know and understand the Savior. This approach includes the following precepts: Learn of Me (studying the character and nature of Christ), Listen to My Words (analyzing the doctrines, principles, and truths imparted by Jesus), Walk in the Meekness of My Spirit (applying the Savior's teachings in our lives such as following his commands, directives, and warnings), and Peace in Me (recognizing the peace, comfort, and blessings that come from following him). By using this model in our personal scripture study, we can gain a holistic view of the Savior's character, teachings, commands, and promises, leading us to a deeper and more accurate understanding of him.   Publications:  “‘Hear Him!': The Restored Voice of the Lord” from Doctrine and Covenants Insights: Capstone of Doctrinal Understanding (Religious Studies Center, 2025) Repicturing the Restoration: New Art to Expand Our Understanding (Religious Studies Center, 2020) “A Method for Evaluating Latter-day Saint History” (Religious Educator, 21.3, 2020) Website: https://www.anthonysweat.com/   Click here to learn more about Anthony Sweat
