About this episode

Rev Charlie Lacey discusses the concept of goodness as part of a mini-series on the fruit of the Spirit, contrasting it with niceness.

by Rev Charlie Lacey | John 8: 1-11 John 8: 1-11 (NIV) Continuing with our mini-series on the fruit of the Spirit, today we looked at goodness. A big theme, but one we can recognise when we see it lived out. Goodness looks very different from niceness. The world wants us to be nice, to keep things smooth and polite, but that’s not the same thing as goodness.
