Pastor Steve Penate emphasizes that faithfulness is a choice, not an accident. Rooted in Acts 1:21-25, he highlights how Matthias was chosen as an apostle solely for his unwavering commitment. Faithfulness starts small—in integrity, generosity, and obedience—even when results aren’t immediate.

He distinguishes faith (trusting God) from faithfulness (living it out daily). The enemy hinders faithfulness through offense, sin, and selfishness, but true faithfulness requires consistency, trustworthiness, and selflessness.

Pastor Will Ford’s sermon Kindness is Kinda Savage explores the Fruit of the Kindness, emphasizing that true kindness is bold, intentional, and rooted in faith rather than mere "niceness". Unlike shallow niceness, true kindness speaks truth in love, takes action, and expects nothing in return, reflecting God's love and transforming lives. Kindness is an active demonstration of mercy and justice and requires abiding in Christ while prioritizing others over self.
