    We are commanded to follow the example of Jesus Christ by laying aside ourselves in sacrificial love of others.

    JESUS SAID IN JOHN 15:12-14, “MY COMMAND IS THIS: LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS: TO LAY DOWN ONE’S LIFE FOR ONE’S FRIENDS. YOU ARE MY FRIENDS IF YOU DO WHAT I COMMAND.” JESUS IS NOT ASKING US TO DIE FOR HIM! HE IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE. HE ISN’T ASKING ...read more

    Loving Our Enemies (February 20, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,815 views

    Is it harder to turn the other cheek, to offer something else when someone has taken something from us, to be generous, to be merciful and to go the extra mile?

    LOVING OUR ENEMIES Text: Luke 6: 26-38 Luk 6:27-38  "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,  (28)  bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.  (29)  If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and ...read more

    Is Your Best Offense Really A Good Defense?

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Mar 17, 2022
     | 1,976 views

    Why are so many so offended by everything today, and are we exempt from this problem? What is the best response (the Christlike one) when things are offensive to us?

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration- There’s an old saying – “The best defense is a good offense.” It’s been used in sports, in business, and in war. It’s also known as the strategic offensive principle of war. The theory is that being proactive with a strong offensive action will make your opponent so ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - Love Like Jesus Loves Series

    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

    Jesus said that we should help people when possible. Agreed. How do we recognize the people who are really needed from the frauds.

Koplitz The Scripture reading is from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 6, verses 27 through 36. “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who 1mistreat you. “Whoever ...read more

    The Golden Goal Series

     | 4,224 views

    The "Golden Rule" is both simple and profound and sums up the lifestyle Christians should embrace. But what does this "Rule" mean to us, and how can we live it to its fullest?

    (Asking the audience) What Is Golden Rule? “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s a simple and yet powerful statement that has caught the imagination of the world, and it’s almost as if nobody (before Jesus) had ever thought about that! ILLUS: Several years ago, there was a ...read more

    Jesus gives us a glimpse of what life is like in God's kingdom. He teaches us that true happiness isn't what the world thinks.

    In our journey to Easter Sunday, we continue in the book of Luke. Last week we talked about Jesus's mission. Today we will take a look at Jesus's actual ministry in Luke 6. In today’s passage, Jesus gives us a glimpse of what life is like in God's kingdom. He teaches us that true ...read more

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C -- The Word Nonviolent Can Be An Adjective, It Modifies How

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2025
     | 413 views

    Jesus is asking us today not so much as “how can I find a gracious God? But “How can I find God in my enemy?” And, how can we be children of God in real life without loving our enemies?

    The fictional Klingon language from Star Trek has no words for love. Of course, the Klingons were creatures of pure logic, not emotion. So, the closest words for “love” in their language were “honor” or “unhate.” That would be easy for us if we could define love simply as “unhating” others. ...read more
