The Kindness of God | Hector Ortiz

06.14.2026Part of God’s character is defined by kindness—His goodness and mercy in action. By choosing the single forbidden tree over God’s abundant provision, humanity succumbed to the enemy’s deception, trading divine good for a sinful nature and breaking their spiritual connection with God despite being sovereignly gifted with the freedom of choice. Though they were deceived and fell into sin, God’s grace provided a rescue plan. Through Jesus’s sacrifice, we are forgiven, justified, and reconciled by faith, not works. This free gift replaces our sinful nature with a new spirit, restoring our relationship with God. By strengthening ourselves through meditation on God’s free gift, we can effectively manage our households and disciple others, faithfully stewarding His blessings to fill our cities with Jesus for His glory.You can find this weeks sermon notes and groups guide here:https://gracechurchsp.org/resources/sermon-guidesTo take a deeper dive into this message with Pastor ryan peterson and Dan Lyle, check out our Groups Leader Podcast:https://gracechurchsp.org/resources/group-leader-podcastTo support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.gracechurchsp.org/giveFill the city with Jesus.
