We are compelled by God’s LOVE and the FREEDOM offered in Jesus to infuse our relationships with the mind of Christ. As the Spirit of God directs our life, we take on the CHARACTER of the Spirit. This Fall we will ask God to INFUSE in us the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control of Christ through the Holy Spirit!
Listen to Infuse KINDNESS

Kindness | Compassion in Action
This week Pastor Brad discusses the big idea, Kindness is Compassion in Action. Jesus Christ demonstrated his kindness toward us, not only with words and understanding, but in action. In the same way, we demonstrate kindness, because Christ’s Spirit in us causes us to bear this fruit.
- Kindness is willing to take compassionate action
- Kindness is willing to take a risk
- Kindness is willing to put other first
- Kindness is willing to pay the price
- Kindness is willing to finish what it starts
- Kindness is willing to glorify God
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
– Luke 10:25-28
