What is kindness? Can any of us truly define it for others? As one author wrote, “I don’t know how to define it, but we know when kindness is there.” But do we? What you consider kind might not be considered kind by me, and vice versa. And yet, the Bible teaches that a heart changed by the Holy Spirit is kind. Therefore, there must be some definition, a “true North” of kindness. So, how do we find that definition? This week, Pastor Chad examines a well known story from Jesus’ life to help us begin to see what is kind and what isn’t kind, positioning Him to define what genuine kindness looks like. Join us at 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 14, for the fifth message in our series “Ripening” titled “Grace and Truth.” If you'd like to worship with us in person, you'll find directions to our new temporary home at the Lutheran Church of St. Andrew in Silver Spring (just 1 mile south of our permanent location): https://maps.app.goo.gl/UnxyLUn9pWqVWsTn9 We continue to solicit your prayers and ask for your patience as we sort through the many logistical details of worshiping as a displaced congregation.
