Patience isn’t weakness. It’s strength under pressure. In this class, we explore the two key Greek words used for patience in the New Testament and how they reveal different aspects of enduring with grace. Building on our previous focus on kindness, we’ll see how true patience equips us to stay faithful through frustration, suffering, and delay. You’ll gain practical insight and spiritual tools to grow in both patience and long-suffering.

What can we learn about enduring pain and discomfort for the cause of Christ? What do we see about endurance if we face our own persecutions?
