Sermon Description

In this powerful message, Pastor Mike Herron explores two intertwined fruits of the Spirit — Goodness and Faithfulness — drawn from Galatians 5:22–23. He unpacks the Greek roots agathosune and pistis, revealing how true goodness is not mere niceness but active, courageous righteousness that seeks others’ well-being, even when it costs us. Likewise, faithfulness is more than belief — it is steadfast loyalty and dependability, reflecting the unwavering character of God Himself.

Through biblical examples and practical application, Pastor Herron calls believers to embody God’s moral courage and enduring trustworthiness — to be people who do what is right and keep doing it, empowered not by willpower but by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

“Goodness does what is right. Faithfulness keeps doing it — even when it’s hard.”
