The 9: Learning to Live Authentically
“KINDNESS”
Titus 3:1-8 (CSB)
Key Truth: “How we live will be determined by the transformation of our character.”
Main Question: How can letting the fruit of KINDNESS expressed through our words and actions point people to Jesus?
1. Kindness can impact culture. (Titus 3:1-2)
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age, while we wait for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” – Titus 2:11-13
2. God’s kindness transforms lives spiritually. (Titus 3:3-7)
“Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?” – Romans 2:4
3. Our kindness is evident in serving others. (Titus 3:8)
Kindness isn’t about our comfort and convenience. It’s about sacrifice and serving so others are blessed.
After the Message: Read Colossians 3:12-14
Which of these spiritual traits are easiest for you to demonstrate? Which one challenges you the most that you need to grow in? Who is someone in your life that you can express kindness to this week that will least expect it?
