    Loving Your Enemies Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 1,880 views

    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

    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 reporter was ...read more

    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.

    We are continuing our series called The Story; God’s story as told through the people, places, and events of the Bible. As you may be aware, the last few weeks we have been focusing on the New Testament portion of the story. Specifically the story of Jesus. The ministry and the miracles of ...read more

    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.

    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

     | 3,800 views

    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.

    God is always love, and I am to reflect him all the time, regardless of how people behave towards me.

    Once upon a time, long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, that passage from Matthew changed my life. Well, it wasn’t another galaxy, exactly, but it was certainly another world. And it certainly feels like a long time ago. I started working for the Pillsbury Company over 40 years ago. But this ...read more

    Sergio’s enemy of the priest that turned him away became his inspiration to help others. Even the ones we see as representing Jesus can (at times) be an enemy. And today, our lesson is that The Cross Has Enemies.

    WELCOME & INTRODUCTION FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT Sergio Gutierrez Benitez was a kid growing up in a tough neighborhood of Mexico City in the 1950s.

That is a Mississippi adage. ...read more

    I think it's safe to say we all like to get rewarded. We like to get acknowledged for a job well done. Not that we do things to get rewarded, it's just nice when it happens. Today we'll take a look at the subject of God's rewards.
