Kindness & Goodness

Tree of Life

Kindness and Goodness point us back to creation. Both words describe what happens when people live the way God created us to. We easily chose to be kind and good when there's something in it for us - we give to get. But followers of Jesus live in the light of God's kindness to us. We choose to be kind and good as a response to what God has already done for us. We give because we've already received!

Jesus' death and resurrection freed us from the consequences of Sin and Death. Now, the Tree of Life is open to us again. But what's all that fruit for? This series explores what it means for believers to manifest the Fruit of the Spirit.

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
