     | 2,549 views

    Matthew 5:43–48 continues Jesus' teaching on love and humility, a part of the Sermon on the Mount. After commanding believers not to seek revenge in the face of insults, Jesus expands the idea of love to include one's enemies.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:43-48 (Loving Enemies) MATTHEW 5:43-48 43 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5

    Matthew 5:13-14 (Jesus Teaches about Salt and Light) If a seasoning has no flavor, it has no value. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them, they are of little value to God. If we are too much like the world, we are worthless. Christians should not blend in with everyone ...read more

    Thy Word I Have Hidden In My Heart Series

    Psalm 119 isn’t blasé about God’s commandments. Psalm 119 isn’t neural about God’s precepts. Psalm 119 loves and adores the law of God!

    Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in all of your Bibles. Now, the longest chapter in your Bible is devoted to how important the Bible is to our lives. Even though the Bible is really valuable, the words and wisdom of the Bible are objectionable to so many people. Banning the Bible The Bible is ...read more

    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

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A: What Loving Your Enemies And Being ‘perfect’ Mean

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,191 views

    “Now raise your hands if you have only one or two enemies.” And even fewer people raised their hands. “See,” says the priest, “most of us feel like we have enemies.”

    A priest is giving a homily like I am right now on “What loving your enemies and being ‘perfect’ mean.” “Now,” says the priest, “I’ll bet that many of us feel as if we have enemies in our lives. So, raise your hands if you have a few enemies.” And several people raise their hands.” “Now raise ...read more

    Perfect Or Finished?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 26, 2023
     | 1,047 views

    "Perfect" is a single word with a huge load of meaning. Do we have the right idea about the word?

    Perfect or Finished? I have to admit my thoughts and feelings when I first heard the Biblical injunction from Jesus, “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) I felt horrible; I thought I was doomed. Hell was to be my ultimate destination. Perfect is a single word with a huge ...read more

    One of the most difficult and most powerful teaching in the sermon on the mount is to love our enemies. I used several quote from MLK's powerful sermon on forgiveness.

    How To Destroy Your Enemies Matthew 5:43-48 OKAY – let’s do this… NOW - I want to start off with a couple of passages of Scripture, as we begin our time in His Living and Active Word this morning.

    From the background of Free Methodist Doctrine (Wesleyan-Arminian), we are called to be "transfigured" as Jesus by allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the "inside-out" to live a holy and sanctified life.

    IT IS CLEAR FROM SCRIPTURE THAT THE CHURCH IS OF GOD AND FOR PEOPLE. THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF THE CHURCH IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FREE MEHTODIST CHURCH STATES: “THE CHURCH IS THE ORGANIC, CORPORATE INSTRUMENT GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REMAKE PEOPLE AND SOCIETY.

    Jesus tells us today not just to forgive our enemies, something we heard earlier in the Gospel, but to wish them well, to do good to them, and, yes, to love them.

    Saturday of the First Week of Lent 2023 One of the worst heresies of the past two thousand years, an opinion that keeps coming back with almost predictable regularity, is the error first heard in early times from Marcion. The idea is that the God of the OT was a harsh, vindictive judge, almost ...read more

    The Limitless Love Of God

     | 2,411 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
