Full Sermon // September 27, 2026
In the fifth week of the series titled, “Fruit of the Spirit” we are continuing to look at the Fruit of our lives as defined by Scripture in Galatians 5:19-25. This week we hone in on the topic of Kindness in our lives. Pastor Jeni preaches that nothing defines us as believers but the indwelling kindness that Christ grants us.
Notes from Sunday’s Sermon:
The fruit of the Spirit are ALL outcomes of a life lived by the power of the Spirit.
If the fruit isn’t growing, check your source.
Based on the whole story of Scripture, what does it look like for (FRUIT) to flow out of me through the power of the Holy Spirit?
Based on the whole story of Scripture, what does it look like for KINDNESS to flow out of me through the power of the Holy Spirit?
Kindness: to act kindly, to be kind; the quality of being warmhearted, considerate, humane, gentle, & sympathetic.
Steadfast love - loving kindness: unwavering, loyal love that is enduring and constant, often associated with God’s covenantal faithfulness
Our kindness is rooted in God’s steadfast love.
“Kindness is grace expressed in human relations, by being helpful when anger might be the expected, natural response… kindness [is] the mirror opposite of ‘fits of rage’ and ‘selfish ambition.’” - Dr. George Lyons, NBBC, Galatians
When we are walking with the Spirit, kindness can become our default temperament.
Let’s not use our personalities or our circumstances as an excuse to miss out on the transforming power of the Spirit in us.
