Joshua Kirsch | August 24

Have you ever had your good intentions misunderstood? Maybe you tried to help a coworker, bless a friend, or offer grace to someone who hurt you—only to be met with suspicion, criticism, or rejection. Few things sting more than seeing kindness twisted into something it was never meant to be. In 2 Samuel 10, David experienced this very thing. An act of kindness which should have brought peace instead led to humiliation, conflict, and war. However, like David, Joab, and especially Jesus Himself, we’re called to keep doing good even when others misjudge us. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to live with courage, patience, and grace—even when kindness backfires.
