Matthew 5:38-48

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in shaping our character to mirror God's. Drawing from Galatians 5 and the Sermon on the Mount, we're challenged to move beyond simply following rules to embracing a Spirit-led life. The focus is on 'agathosune' - a goodness that's not just internal, but actively demonstrated through generosity. We're reminded that God's character is inherently generous, from the act of creation to the ultimate gift of His Son. As we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, we're called to a generosity that goes above and beyond expectations, reflecting God's own abundant giving. This isn't about trying harder, but about allowing God to change us from within, leading us to open not just our hearts, but our hands in service and love to others.
