Kindness

Apr 26, 2026    Adam Wigington

This message challenges us to reconsider what kindness truly means in our daily walk with Christ. We're invited to move beyond the cultural celebration of 'random acts of kindness' toward something far more transformative: continual kindness as evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. Drawing from Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:12, we discover that kindness isn't something we stumble into—it's something we intentionally clothe ourselves with each morning. The powerful distinction is made between kindness as an event versus kindness as evidence. When we witness simple acts like a vendor giving Pokemon cards to excited children or volunteers handing out goodie bags in Kenya, we're reminded that what feels ordinary to the giver can be life-changing to the receiver. The cross itself becomes our ultimate example: not just sacrifice, but kindness with nails in it. We're called to develop a lifestyle where kindness overflows from us like water from an overflowing cup, fueled by God's kindness toward us first. This means being patient with frustrating people, forgiving those who haven't earned it, remembering those others have forgotten, and helping people who can do nothing for us in return. The challenge isn't to perform occasional kind acts, but to become continually kind people whose compassion is so consistent it becomes unremarkable to us yet unforgettable to others.
