The Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness

In this sermon, we examine kindness, a fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23, as a Christ-like action meeting human needs with sympathy, not just a gentle disposition. Rooted in God’s grace through Jesus (Romans 2:4, Ephesians 2), it enables believers to show kindness to the ungrateful, as taught in Luke 6, serving as a powerful witness to Christ, exemplified by Allison’s kindness through letters mission.

Putting on Joyful Cloths

In Colossians 3, Paul continues the theme of the supremacy of Jesus Christ and His sufficient work in our lives. In fact Paul takes it to another level by proclaiming that when we put our faith in Jesus, our lives are hidden with Christ. In light of this joyful assurance we are called to seek the things that are above and to live as the true citizens of God’s glorious kingdom.

Supreme in Your Life

In Colossians Chapter 2, Paul emphasizes the personal nature of Christ’s supremacy. Jesus is not only supreme over eternity, creation, and the church, but also over our lives. Paul urges us to walk in Jesus as needy beggars, receiving grace and the security of having our lives governed by His supremacy.

Joy in Suffering

Our suffering can become a window into the immense love God has for us!
