Kindness by the Spirit

What if kindness could change everything?

This week, Brad continues our Life by the Spirit series with a message on Kindness by the Spirit — reminding us that kindness isn’t weakness, it’s strength under the Spirit’s control.

In a world that celebrates being “nice,” this message unpacks the deeper call to be kind — to love people enough to tell the truth, to forgive freely, and to live with a tender heart. Because the Bible says, “Those who are kind benefit themselves.” (Proverbs 11:17)

You’ll discover:

  • The difference between being nice and being kind
  • How kindness benefits us emotionally, physically, and spiritually
  • How unthankfulness, unholiness, unloving, and unforgiving hearts block kindness
  • Why true kindness flows from gratitude for God’s mercy

If your heart’s been hardened, or if you’ve struggled to show grace when it costs something — this message is for you. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften your heart and produce His fruit in your life.
