The Fruit of Faithfulness | Heather Schott | Mercy Culture Fort Worth

Fruit of The Spirit: Faithfulness | Steve Penate | MC Dallas

Pastor Steve Penate emphasizes that faithfulness is a choice, not an accident. Rooted in Acts 1:21-25, he highlights how Matthias was chosen as an apostle solely for his unwavering commitment. Faithfulness starts small—in integrity, generosity, and obedience—even when results aren’t immediate.

He distinguishes faith (trusting God) from faithfulness (living it out daily). The enemy hinders faithfulness through offense, sin, and selfishness, but true faithfulness requires consistency, trustworthiness, and selflessness.
