The Power of Kindness

In this message, we discuss the power of kindness in a world where being mean and retributive is becoming normalized and celebrated. In a world that increasingly sees kindness as weak, we see kindness shown through patience and radical forgiveness to others as a way to show strength. Kindness is something that we extend to those who are easy to love, but also to those who are difficult to love. In addition, we are called to show kindness through radical forgiveness and patience. When we engage people at the level of story, we practice the power of kindness and show the love of God. We take the time to know, love and value others, and we search for ways to practice it in our lives, living our own lives after the example Jesus showed of being a counterpoint to the darkness of his day.
