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.

The Abundant Grace of Jesus

A young man asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life. Jesus uncovered his sinful heart of false abundance, highlighting that we all share this flaw. Despite this, Jesus loved him and called him to a new life through God’s grace.

Righteousness in the Family

In Mark 10, Jesus addresses a question about righteousness in marriage by turning it back on those testing Him. He highlights God’s good intentions for human sexuality, marriage, and children, exposing our hard-heartedness and rebellion. Jesus emphasizes that no one is righteous apart from His finished work on the cross. As followers of Christ, we are called to serve joyfully, through grace, and with hope in the Gospel.

The Grace to Serve

In Joshua’s final words to Israel, he reminds them of God’s gracious work and calls them to serve the Lord. God’s grace is the foundation for humble and faithful service, not an excuse for inaction. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are recipients of greater grace and are called to serve humbly and faithfully in our communities.
