KINDNESS - Luke 6_35

FreeChurch Toronto, Walk in the Spirit · Luke 6 “The only way to bring kindness to an unkind world is to allow that unkindness to go. Allow it to go unpunished, unpaid. … It shows that you are not weak. You are strong enough in yourself not to worry about the fact that someone else is trying to crush your spirit. You're not controlled by the dark nature. This need to retaliate. This is the type of kindness we're talking about. … Our need to be right. Our need to be able to fight. … We need to let go of that right. Our right not to be soft. We need to turn all these so-called rights we have over to the Holy Spirit and we have to allow the Holy Spirit to set our hearts right and to give to us an and in an unhuman kindness. A type of kindness that is divine, that comes from somewhere else that we cannot find anywhere except for a mind that's controlled by the Spirit. The kindness of God. The kindness of God is stored in your heart, in the form of the Spirit of Christ.” Passage: Luke 6:35 Read the post: https://www.cyrilguerette.com/sermon-blog/2010-02-21-kindness-luke-6-35 In 2010 we spent the whole year learning what it means to Walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-25) — being filled with the Spirit, and letting his fruit grow visibly in our lives. We spent the first half of the year working through the fruit of the Spirit one quality at a time, and Easter carried us into the life-giving promise of Romans 8. From Pentecost onward, we turned to the book of Acts to watch that same Spirit fill and empower the earliest church, walking with Peter, Paul, and the apostles from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.
