Meekness Is Not Weakness

Transcripts for Dr. Wiersbe's sermons are forthcoming. Below is an outline of his message.

Four aspects of meekness:

• Meaning of meekness
  • Meekness is power under control.
  • Meekness is not being a coward or complacent.
  • We have intellectual, emotional, and spiritual power that can be used for the purposes of God.
  • The most important kingdom for us to conquer is our inner man.
  • Our greatest victories in life are won in our hearts, not with a sword.
  • Jesus is the greatest example of meekness.
  • Practicing meekness means surrendering to God and showing gentleness toward man.
• Living in meekness
  • If we can control our own attitude, other things will fall into place.
  • What is your attitude toward God’s providence, His Word, others’ sins, and the unsaved?
  • We should gently and humbly seek to share the Gospel with others.
• Cultivating meekness
  • Meekness is one of the fruits of the Spirit.
  • Meekness comes from submitting to the Holy Spirit and growing closer to the Lord through His Word.
  • We can’t have meekness without going through trouble because going through difficulty draws us closer to the heart of Jesus.
• Blessing of meekness
  • The blessing of meekness is a spiritual blessing on the inside, not a material one.
  • Inheriting the Earth means that when you can control yourself everything belongs to you.
  • The biggest enemy we have is ourselves.
  • Meekness keeps us waiting on the Lord in peace.

Wait on the Lord and keep His way.

Pray for God to make you meeker so He can use you.
