Drawing from Genesis 50, he emphasizes that the Goodness of the Lord is evident in every situation, circumstance, and trial—even those intended for harm, as God will use them for good. Pastor Landon addresses five common misconceptions that distort the true nature of God’s goodness, warning against teachings that misrepresent His character.

Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness | Lead Pastor Les Cody | MC Waco

This week Pastor Les Cody continues the series, Fruit of The Spirit, expanding our understanding of Kindness and what it means to truly be kind. Focusing on scriptures from Galatians 5, he highlights the importance of asking The Lord where we lack fruit and where we can become fully dependent upon The Spirit. Further, Pastor Les describes how the spirit of the age demands you to be “nice” at the expense of being “Kind.” True love expresses itself through truth-filled kindness.  When your version of “kindness" prioritizes someone’s comfort over their transformation, that’s not Christlike humility—it’s pride masquerading as compassion. Real kindness doesn’t serve your reputation; it serves theirs!
