The first installment of Summer of Kindness series was focused on how Jesus interfaced and interacted with humanity.... In the 1990s, a frustrated engineer named Ajay Bhatt noticed a problem no one was solving—connecting everyday devices to a computer was complicated and inefficient. What emerged from his persistence was the USB port: a simple, seamless interface that revolutionized how technology connects.

Much like that innovation, we believe the future of the Church lies in how we “interface and interact” with the world around us. We see in the life of Jesus a “seamless” approach to humanity. He moved in and out, up and down, left and right in culture and society. Jesus was adaptable and versatile in his approach. In order for Him to be able to do this it reveals he had an internal operating system that enabled him to live with a Kingdom View.

This summer, we invite you into that mission through Summer of Kindness—a season of teaching, training, and activation rooted in Matthew 5, Matthew 28, and Acts 10:38.

On Sunday we covered 4 essentials to this internal operating system:

#1 View of God and Humanity - You view Humanity the way you believe He views you.

#2 Knowing who you are talking to - Taking the time to understand the different worldviews and perspectives of humanity.

#3 Personal Responsibility - What are you doing to feed the poor, pray for the sick, clothe the naked, “preach the gospel”...

#4 Letting people touch your scars - Thomas touched Jesus’s scars and “believed”.

Summer of Kindness is an opportunity to grow in how we see, serve, and speak to the world around us. Let’s move as Jesus did—doing good, healing, and bringing hope and light everywhere we go. We can’t wait to do this together as a Studio community. You can listen to the talk here.
