About this episode

This sermon discusses how Biblical kindness, shaped by God's kindness, influences our interactions and boundaries with others.

Fruit of the Root, 5 of 8 from July 5, 2026 “God’s unbelievable kindness reshapes our belief to make us kind.” Galatians 5 & Titus 3 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks) SUMMARY This sermon teaches that Biblical kindness is an active, Spirit-produced way of moving toward others to serve them, flowing out of a deep awareness of God’s overwhelming kindness to us in Christ when we were still selfish and enslaved to sin. Pastor Michael calls believers to let this kindness reshape their lives—showing love, setting healthy boundaries without becoming doormats or divisive—and to see such transformed kindness as evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work, not their own effort. REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 💬 Is it kindness or unkindness that characterizes our lives? 💬 How do we stay focused on God's kindness? 💬 Where do we need to establish or hold kind boundaries with others?
