Goodness
In Week 3 of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris Padiath teaches from 1 Timothy 6:11-19 and explores goodness as a fruit of the Spirit. Goodness is more than appearing moral or being considered a “good person.” It is formed by God and revealed through the way we live. This message looks at a good conscience, good deeds, and a good reputation as evidence of Spirit-formed character. As followers of Jesus, we are called to reflect the goodness of God in our choices, our actions, and the way we represent Christ wherever we go. Series: Real Fruit | Date: May 17th 2026

From Series: "Real Fruit"
Most of us are familiar with love, joy, and peace—and many of us are actively working on self-control—but the Spirit desires to form all of His fruit within us. This series is not about behavior modification or trying harder in our own strength, but about learning to live life in the Spirit rather than the impulses of the flesh. As we abide in Christ, the Spirit produces fruit that reflects Jesus to a watching world. My prayer is that you will be challenged, shaped and transformed as we pursue a life that bears lasting, Spirit-formed fruit.
