Fruit of the Spirit | KINDNESS
If you've ever raised kids (or been responsible for them for more than 5 minutes), you've also said something akin to "Be nice to your sister!" many, many times over. It's a twofold theological reality that spills over into our everyday lives: 1) humanity really IS broken by sin and 2) we innately know that treating others with kindness is something we should do simply because that is what any human deserves. Kindness (though nice) is hard to do and can be dangerous to us. And yet we're called to do that very thing - the hard work of kindness - and brave the dangers that accompany it.

Message Series Description:
There is a truth found in the Bible called "the fruit of the Spirit," a grouping of nine attributes that should be present in the lives of those who have chosen to follow Jesus and that the Holy Spirit works to develop in them. These nine (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control) come together in a Christian’s life to reflect a complete picture of the character of Jesus. They are mysteriously present as we align our choices with what the Holy Spirit prompts us towards, knowing that God empowers while we choose. This fruit is not meant to be kept to ourselves. It is meant to be shared by taking action on behalf of others.
