    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 6, 2021
     | 3,501 views

    There are a lot of differences between Christianity and other religions. One of those differences is the way we treat our enemies.

    SO, HOW ARE WE TO REACT TO OUR ENEMIES? The natural reaction of one who does not know Christ is to strike back and to seek the greatest retribution possible. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE Illus: D.L. MOODY, IN ONE OF HIS SERMONS, PORTRAYS THE LORD JESUS GIVING DIRECTION TO PETER AFTER ...read more

    1) Break the Cycle of Retribution, 2) Start a New Cycle of Love. "What goes around comes around" is not the final answer. Love graciously as God loves.

    Getting Life Right: RE-CYCLING RELATIONSHIPS—Matthew 5:38-48 Most relationships follow a simple rule: “What goes around comes around.” If interactions between people are going in a positive direction, the relationship thrives, with reciprocal affirmation, encouragement, cooperation, and kindness. ...read more

    How does Jesus explain the Spirit of the law. Let's continue our look at the Sermon on the Mount in in Matthew 5 part 2.

    Did Jesus tell us to be as perfect as God? How is that possible? Let’s understand the context and the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5:38-48. Eye for an Eye Let’s begin with an eye for an eye.

    As a Rabbi, Jesus was interpreting and applying teachings from the Torah for His followers, addressing issues that were in rabbinic debate in this era.

    Part Two: Walking That Extra Mile Matthew 5:38-48 It was a sweltering August day in 1937 when the Cohen brothers entered the posh Dearborn, Michigan, offices of Henry Ford, the car maker. "Mr. Ford," announced Norman Cohen, the eldest of the three. "We have a remarkable invention ...read more

     | 676 views

    Since Our Lord has taught us to do this, the prayer for enemies must be the most effective prayer we can ever raise to God.

    Saturday of the First Week in Lent 2023 The command to “be perfect as your heavenly Father” can be very scary, especially to a young person. As kids, we constantly push the boundaries of conduct that is unacceptable to mom and dad. And they constantly reiterate the boundaries, unless they wimp out ...read more

    God loves us all equally, regardless of our family background. But what does the Bible say about favoritism within families? Join us today as we explore this topic in light of Romans 2:11, which teaches us that "God does not show favoritism."

    Introduction: I. Recognizing the Chains of Favoritism Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is a privilege to stand before you today and delve into a topic that affects us all—family favoritism. In our journey together through the Scriptures, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of God's ...read more

    More pointers are given that help in times of injustice and stress and tribulation. We look at God in retribution and the handling of wicked people who become our enemies. We also look at how hymns can be helpful. God recompenses, not us, so don’t try!

    The Limitless Love Of God

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022
     | 2,236 views

    How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

    If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more

    This sermon looks at what Jesus may have meant when he said "love you enemies" and the risk and rewards of doing so.

    Good morning. I have a strange request. I am going to ask that you would take a moment, settle your minds, and begin to think about anybody that you might classify as an enemy. I am not just talking about personal enemies. Maybe somebody who has harmed you in the past like a coworker, a ...read more

    As we come to this table and feast on this bread and wine, I am so grateful that God is the One who made up the guest list and not one of us and you should also be grateful that I am not the one who determines who may or may not sit at the table, amen?

    [This sermon was part of a Communion Service.] Welcome to the Lord’s Table. Today we ‘feast’ on … [hold up a piece of bread and a communion cup]. To the naked eye, this doesn’t seem to be much of a “feast,” does it? A typical ‘royal’ feast in Jesus’ day would start out with an appetizer to whet ...read more

    Jesus said, 'You therefore must be perfect'. What an unreasonable demand! And yet, there are so many reasons to strive for it.

    INTRODUCTION We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount. In our passage for today, Jesus starts by saying, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.’ What do you think of that!? Back in March I told you about an interview I heard on Radio 4.

    The focus of this sermon is on Jesus' teaching on what the normal auto-response is to various situations in life, and contrasting it with what a Kingdom response would look like.
