Why is waiting one of the hardest parts of faith? In this sermon from The Power of Good, Pete Nicholas explores patience not as passive waiting, but as the ability to persistently and peacefully endure present difficulties in light of a future hope. In a culture shaped by speed, productivity, and instant gratification, patience can feel almost impossible to cultivate. Looking at Colossians 1:9–12, this sermon explores why patience is essential in our relationships with others, in our growth as people, and in learning to trust God through seasons of waiting and suffering. Real patience is not rooted in willpower alone, but in staying deeply rooted in Christ.
