You cannot be an unkind Christian - it is not a thing. Salvation is the starting point of a lifetime of being transformed in the likeness of Jesus. When we decide daily to be more like him, we begin to see evidence or fruit of this new life. One of the qualities of this fruit is kindness. Our flesh is naturally selfish and selfishness is the enemy of kindness. Let’s be a people who intentionally uproots selfishness so that we can unleash God’s kindness in the world.

Self-control is more than knowing the right choice, it’s having the strength to make it. As a part of the Fruit of the Spirit, self-control is the result of discernment and discipline that only comes from remaining in Jesus. The more we know and trust Jesus, the easier it is to place our lives under his authority and choose the things that please and glorify him. Our flesh will always choose to fill immediate desires and sacrifice what we ultimately desire. Self-control requires that we surrender everything, seek wisdom, and set boundaries to keep us walking in step with the Spirit.

Followers of Jesus will walk different paths on their journey of faith, but the same fruit should be present in the lives of each one. Each fruit is needed and beneficial for following, but perhaps the fruit of faithfulness is most vital in pleasing God. Jesus puts a high value on faith - more than believing, more than knowing, but completely trusting in Him. In this message we learn what faithfulness means and how we practice it.
