Sermon # 8 - Love Like Jesus Loves Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 19, 2024

So many relationships are broken or splintered because of un-forgiveness. God’s mandate for His children is that we should love and forgive others the way He loves and forgives us. This love and forgiveness was perfectly exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and even at the point of death.

Jesus said in Luke 6:32, "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! (GNT) As we continue to meditate on the questions that Jesus asked, we find these questions are relevant and life-giving even today. Most of us in ...read more
