Pastor Aaron Prelock preaches through Matthew 5:38-48.

This week, Pastor Greg teaches over Luke 6: 27-38. 

The love Jesus is talking about here is something we choose, not something we feel. One of the footnotes for this passage reads: “ The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for another.”Our natural bent is to desire the worst for our enemies, not the best for them. We like to see them as different from us and underserving of compassion, grace or help. Justice for you and grace for me is often the posture we take. But for a Christian, it must not be this way. Love for our enemies is foundational both to our understanding of the gospel and in our call to be like Jesus.  The Holy Spirit in us is our source and strength in loving others as Christ first loved us. May it be so, Lord, all for the praise honor and glory of Jesus!To prepare for this week's message think of an enemy and begin praying for them and for your own heart posture towards them. As you read Matthew 5-7, give special attention to 5:43-48

Paul comes to what we call a "rapid fire" section of his letter.  A series of commands and instructions that come quickly and pointedly in Romans 12:9-21.  Though it is rapid fire, they aren't entirely disconnected.  Verse 9 serves as a proper header for these verses around the theme of genuine love. Last week we looked at what genuine love for one another in the body of Christ looks like. This week we tackle what genuine love for our enemies looks like.

The climax of Jesus' Old Testament precedent-busting commands is his command for Christians to love their enemies. The most beautiful part of this command is the motivation behind it. We love our enemies, because God is an enemy-loving God. We love our enemies to be close to him, and to be like him.

9/18/22 In Jesus' day, some people thought it was okay to love their friends and hate their enemies. Why would they have thought that? More importantly, why do we? And what does Jesus have to say to us about the hatred in our own hearts?

On today's ID the Future, geologist Casey Luskin continues to unpack his recently published essay against the view that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors via blind Darwinian processes. In this episode he shares his experience of walking into the fossil hall at South Africa's famous Maropeng Museum and immediately being confronted by a piece of shameless materialist propaganda, a Richard Dawkins quotation prominently displayed as part of a floor-to-ceiling display. The quotation insisted that humans are essentially just DNA survival machines. Luskin says, not so fast, and points out the various ways such a view fails to explain important aspects of human behavior, including altruistic behavior toward non-kin. Luskin and host Eric Anderson also call evolutionary theory to task for being Read More › Source
