Episode Summary:In this episode, we continue the Fruit of the Spirit series by looking at goodness. Most believers do not struggle to believe that God is good, but many struggle to believe that His goodness is truly in them. Through Galatians 5:22-23, Micah 6:8, and Romans 2:4, this message shows that goodness is not something we manufacture; it is the fruit of God's Spirit in us, meant to be seen, tasted, and experienced by others. When we act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, our lives become a living witness to His goodness.Main Scripture:Galatians 5:22-23Micah 6:8Romans 3:12Mark 10:18Psalm 34:8Leviticus 24:22Proverbs 31:9Zechariah 7:102 Corinthians 3:2-3Romans 7:19Matthew 12:35Romans 2:4Big Idea:Only God is good, and His goodness in us is meant to be seen, tasted, and experienced by others.In This Episode:Why the fruit of the Spirit is not something we produce, but something we bear because of what the Spirit has done in us.Why true goodness cannot be separated from God, and why our goodness is really His goodness at work in us.How Micah 6:8 shows goodness through acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.Why goodness is seen in how we treat people, especially those who are different from us, overlooked, powerless, or difficult to love.How the goodness of God leads people to repentance by showing them who God is, not merely telling them what is wrong.Reflection Questions:Do I believe God's goodness is in me, or do I only believe that God is good?What do people see on the outside of me that reveals what God has done on the inside?Where do I need to treat someone fairly who is not like me?Who in my life could use mercy or forgiveness, even if they have not asked for it?Am I trying to prove goodness by what I know or do, instead of bearing the fruit of who God has made me to be?How can I show the goodness of God instead of only pointing out what is wrong?Next Steps:Read Galatians 5:22-23 and Micah 6:8 this week, asking God to help you bear His goodness.Ask God to show you one person who needs mercy from you this week.Look for one practical way to act justly by helping or protecting someone who needs care.When someone asks why you are being good to them, point back to the goodness God has shown you.Stop making your personal convictions everyone else's principles, and let the Holy Spirit do His work.Make it your aim to be a billboard of the goodness of God everywhere you go.Closing Line:Listen in, share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe so you do not miss the next episode.

Title: Fruit of the Spirit - Goodness Bible Focus: Galatians 5:22-23 & 6:1-10 Preacher: Richard Wood Date: 02/08/2026
Galatians 5-22-23 Fruits of the Spirit (Goodness)
Goodness…what a great word! When Moses wanted to see God, the Lord said He was going to have His “goodness” pass in front of him. I wonder when we pass in front of people, do they sense His goodness as well? This message will look at what it means to be a “good” person. Someone whose presence reminds others of God!
This Sunday, we had the privilege of hearing from our dear friend, Samson Latchison. Samson preached a powerful message on goodness as a fruit of the Spirit - out of Galatians 5:22-23 and Psalm 34:8. Be wildly encouraged by the Lord's goodness in the midst of it all.

This week on Tell Me More, host Katy sits down with Curt and Ashley Berryhill to unpack the fruit of the Spirit "Goodness"—the sixth stop in a nine-week series through Galatians 5:22-23. The conversation traces the word from the Hebrew tov in Genesis (where God calls His creation "good") to agathosune, a term the Apostle Paul appears to have coined by fusing the Greek word for "good" with a suffix meaning "intimately knit together." Using Barnabas—Scripture's "son of encouragement"—as a case study, Kurt explores how real goodness isn't about staying clean and uninvolved; it risks, protects, and proclaims, showing up in messy, no-win situations on behalf of other people. They also connect goodness to restoration, discipleship, and what it looks like to raise kids who bear good fruit rather than just "healthy" lives.Before diving into the theology, the team catches listeners up on a busy summer of ministry: 41 students serving at the Texas border with Texans on Mission, a small team encountering God's work among refugee communities in Southeast Asia, college students serving a church plant in Denver, and international partners visiting from Spain, Sierra Leone, and beyond. Ashley also shares an update on the church's growing pathway of student mission trips. The episode wraps with a teaser for next week's study on Faithfulness through the life of Mary Magdalene, plus details on Summer Clusters (women's Bible studies) starting soon.

In Galatians 5, Paul lists goodness as one of the fruits of the Spirit—but this isn't just about being nice. In today's episode of the C3 podcast, Pastor Dan Holland shows how biblical goodness is active, sacrificial, and rooted in God's own character. When we stay connected to the Spirit, goodness naturally flows from our lives into the lives of others. Tune in and be encouraged to let God's goodness grow in you.If you are interested in starting a micro church or hosting a small group in your home with like-minded individuals, we've got you covered.

Live to give, strong words from a faithful man of God. It is made clear in Scripture that the world will know us by the fruits we produce which is a reflection of our heart. What is a true sign of this? Our ability to be good to one another, even those who wrong us, and the consistency to which we do it (faithfulness). We hope this message blesses you this week.

Join me today as I explore the biblical attribute of goodness. It should be a fruit of the Holy Spirit living through us so that in a fallen world, we may live out God's excellent goodness so that others may have a picture of what God's excellent character is like.
God is good. Your circumstances may try to convince you otherwise, but the Bible is clear on this matter. The lie that God is not good will lead you away from God. But the restoration of the truth that God is good will draw you near. Listen/watch this message and have your faith restored in the goodness of God. James 1:17; Luke 10:25-37

What does it mean to "be good?" Whose rules are you supposed to follow? What if I haven't followed the rules?

In this message, Pastor Maggie Wakefield teaches on the Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness, drawing from Exodus 33 and Galatians 5. She emphasizes that goodness is not merely kindness or good intentions, but God's own character—His moral excellence, generosity, and righteousness. Just as Moses pleaded for God's presence and glory, believers today are called to pursue daily encounters with God, because abiding in Him is the only way to bear spiritual fruit. Goodness is a choice, expressed through generosity, justice, and truth, and it reflects God's glory to the world.

In this powerful sermon from Mercy Culture Fort Worth, we journey through the biblical story of Joseph to explore the concept of divine goodness. Pastor Landon dives deep into Genesis 50 and Galatians 5:22, highlighting how goodness is a fundamental aspect of God's character and a vital element of spiritual warfare. Discover how God turns evil into good, the difference between biblical goodness and secular niceness, and the importance of personal encounters with the Holy Spirit. This message calls believers to embody God's goodness, even amidst life's challenges.
In this episode we dive into the powerful and often overlooked fruit of goodness. Rooted in God's own nature, goodness is more than just being kind—it's living a life of integrity, generosity, and moral courage. We explore how this fruit shows up in our daily walk with Christ and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to reflect God's goodness in a world that desperately needs it. As Galatians 5:22-23 reminds us, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Join us as we break down what it means to live a life marked by goodness and how it impacts our relationships, decisions, and witness.For a more interactive experience, watch today's episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/evangelistcalebwampler You can also find more information by visiting: www.kingdomencounters.us If you are hungry for more of the Lord head over to www.kingdomencounters.us/free where you can get all of our 7 day devotional series for FREE!
