Pastor Russ kicks off an intergenerational month of worship focused on the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, centering the first message on love and kindness, drawn from the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. He challenges the congregation to understand that true kindness cannot be manufactured through willpower or arrogance — it can only flow naturally from a heart genuinely rooted in God's love. With practical household wisdom, Pastor Russ calls families to watch their tones, make the issue the issue, forgive quickly, and serve one another as a living expression of the Spirit's fruit.
