Kindness | When We Don’t Deserve ItDrawing from Titus 3:1 – 7, Pastor Jon kicks off this series on the fruit of Kindness.What does kindness look like? It usually doesn't mean giving everyone what they deserve! We show others they are valuable by how we treat them.Romans 2 says this...You didn’t think, did you, that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard? Or did you think that because he’s such a nice God, he’d let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he’s not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.
