Kindness

Series: Table Manners

Kindness

May 20, 2022 | Rev. Dr. Chris J. Hayes

Passage: Genesis 39:1-5

Thinking of others above self and being kind to each other seems simple and easy, but as our scripture story shows today, often we live in an unkind world, with unkind people and actions. Being unkind causes pain and heartache that God never wants for anyone, but kindness can combat the pains and struggles we often find ourselves experiencing.

This week's scripture is Genesis 39:1-5

Series Information

Galatians 5 tells us that there are obvious fruits that the Spirit gives and that we are to produce as followers of Jesus Christ. If we can experience and exhibit love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, we are well on our way to being the people God created us to be. God offers this abundance of fruit for each one of us, and we can offer these fruits at every table where we find ourselves.
