Kindness

This message unpacks Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan, showing how kindness is more than a feeling—it’s love in action toward anyone, even those we might see as enemies. Using real-life examples and humor, the sermon calls us to practice kindness daily: noticing needs, listening well, acting quickly, and being willing to sacrifice time, resources, and comfort. We’re reminded that kindness grows from deep roots in God’s Word and relationship with Him, like a tree planted by streams of water. Ultimately, kindness is a work of the Holy Spirit in us, but it also takes intentional practice. Jesus’ words still stand as our challenge: “Go and do likewise.”
