Sermon Title: The Fruit of the Spirit – Kindness
Speaker: Pastor Kenny Stetler
Date: March 9, 2025 – AM Service
Text: Galatians 5:22–23
In this eighth message from the Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Kenny Stetler explores the deep, Spirit-born reality of kindness — not a shallow “niceness,” but a costly, cross-shaped virtue that mirrors the heart of Christ. True kindness, chrestotes in the Greek, is more than politeness; it's divine, transformational, and rooted in the example of Jesus, who gave His life in love for His enemies.
Pastor Kenny contrasts cultural "cheap kindness" with the Spirit’s genuine work, showing that kindness is not just something we try to have — it is fruit we bear when the Spirit fills and governs our lives. Drawing from Titus, Romans, and the story of David and Mephibosheth, this message paints a picture of what Christlike kindness looks like in action: undeserved, unexpected, and unable to be repaid.
Listen and be challenged to let the Spirit produce in you the kind of kindness that reflects the kindness of God.
