The fruit of “kindness” is a bit different than the kindness that our culture promotes. The Bible portrays kindness as a supernaturally generous orientation of our heart towards other people… even when they don't deserve it and don't love us in return. God Himself is kind in this way!

"Self-Control"
April 16, 2023 • Mason Adair • Galatians 5:22–23, 2 Timothy 2:7, Titus 2:11–12, 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, Hebrews 4:14–16
The very concept of “self-control” implies a battle between a divided self. It implies that our “self” produces desires we should not satisfy but instead “control.” God has given us the fruit of self-control because our own self can desire and crave for things that are ungodly or harmful.
"Gentleness"
April 2, 2023 • Mason Adair • Romans 3:23–27, Galatians 5:22–23, Ephesians 4:1–3, 1 Peter 2:22–24, Isaiah 53:7–8
Gentleness is probably the most neglected fruit of the Spirit. We live in an age of outrage. If outrage and anger is the spiritual diagnosis, then the fruit of gentleness is the medicine. If there was ever a time when Christians need to display and exercise gentleness… IT’S NOW!
"Faithfulness"
March 26, 2023 • Mason Adair • Acts 20:22–27, Galatians 5:22–23, Lamentations 3:22–23, Hebrews 12:1–2
To be faithful is to be reliable, dependable and trustworthy. Our words, promises and vows should matter. This message looks at how God delights not mainly in the greatness of the work, but in the faithfulness of the worker.
