Kindness
In Week 2 of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris Padiath teaches from Colossians 3:12–17 and explores the biblical meaning of kindness. While culture celebrates being “nice,” scripture calls believers to something deeper through compassion, truth, reconciliation, and Spirit-formed love. This message examines how kindness reflects the character of God, leads people toward repentance, and transforms the way we treat others. As followers of Jesus, we are called not only to receive His kindness, but also to continue in it.

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.
