Podcasts about love your enemies

Sometimes getting a second chance is easier than giving one. We all have people in our lives we think are beyond redemption. But, God is calling us to drop our prejudices. To drop our hate. And to love our enemies. Who in your life do you need to give a second chance to?

Jesus says, "Love your enemies." Sounds nice, until you actually have one. This Sunday, how to love when you'd rather fight back, shut down, or walk away-and why Jesus' love shines brightest when relationships are hardest.

Overcoming our reluctance to love our enemies can be so difficult, but Jesus commands it. How do we get there? Pastor Tucker reminds us to be guided by obedience to God rather than our feelings, and he explains the practical advice Jesus gives.

I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you [NKJV]

Looking at the bible scripture from Matthew chapter 5 about how we are to love our enemies.  This message helps explain who are our enemies in Christ and what it means to love them.

Bible Verse: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” - Matthew 5:43-47 (NIV) ✨ Daily Meditation: In today’s profound devotional, Jaime Hampton, host of Praying Christian Women Podcast., explores one of Jesus’ most radical and challenging teachings: loving our enemies. This message, drawn from the Sermon on the Mount, calls us not only to tolerate but to bless, pray for, and show compassion to those who oppose or hurt us. We are reminded that our real enemy is not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). When we shift from retaliation to intercession, we begin to see others through God’s eyes — as image-bearers, not adversaries. It’s in these moments of surrendered love that God does His deepest transformative work in us and through us.

This week in our "Journey Through Scripture" series, Pastor Jim Ellis takes us through the book of Jonah. We'll explore how Jonah's story often mirrors our own tendency to run away from God. We will be challenged to embrace a radical calling: to love our enemies, a stark contrast to Jonah's reluctant obedience when God sent him to Nineveh. Discover what this ancient prophet's journey can teach us about our own hearts and God's boundless grace. #Bismarck #church #BismarckCommunityChurch #BCC #Gospel #JourneyThroughScripture #ReadBible #unity #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #Sermon #JimEllis #Jonah #ReluctantProphet #Ninevah #WeAreJonah #RunningFromGod #LoveYourEnemies #GodsGraceSupport the showFind out more about us at BismarckCC.org.

Luke 6:27-36

NOTE: The first minute of this sermon is missing. Pastor Clint begins by telling the story of Jim Elliot and four other missionaries who gave their lives so the Huaorani people would hear the gospel. In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Luke 6:24–36. Jesus warns the rich and comfortable that their earthly rewards are fleeting, while calling his followers to love their enemies, do good, and give generously without expecting anything in return. He teaches that true righteousness goes beyond loving those who love you—it reflects God's mercy. Just as God is kind to the ungrateful and evil, so his children are called to be merciful, embodying his character in a broken world.

Here it is.  One of the toughest, most challenging teachings that Jesus offers:  Love your enemies. (Lectionary #366) June 17, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com

Continuing our studies in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour 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. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matt 5:43-48)I wonder if you have ever had an enemy. Somebody who opposes you, tries to hurt you, someone who takes delight in discouraging you; maybe they have even bullied you in some way. Here, Jesus instructs us to love them and one way, he says, to do that is to pray for them. We may not feel we have love for an enemy, but we can choose to do love - by praying for them. That might seem difficult to do but sometimes praying for a person can have surprising results. Here's how it works. Praying for a person we struggle with can potentially achieve two things: First, it can soften our heart towards forgiveness and away from retribution. It can help us to see the person as broken and needing Jesus. The person who has not shown love or respect to us is still loved by the Lord. He died for them too. If we can make a decision to pray for the person instead of nursing our wounds, or entertaining ways of getting even, the Lord uses such prayers to change our hearts to be more like Him. Praying for an enemy invites the Lord to have His way in us. Second, it may be your prayer or my prayer that God chooses to bless and bring that person to repentance and faith in Him. If your enemy is going to change, it is more likely to occur on the back of compassionate prayer than from angerThink of people in your life now or people you have known in the past. Those who have hurt you. People who have made your life difficult. Pray that they come to a saving knowledge of Jesus. Or, if they are believers, pray that they come to a deeper understanding of the Lord and His ways. If you can, pray these words over them from Numbers 6 v 24 – 26. “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on youand be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

Revenge. An eye for an eye. Consequences for actions. This Sunday we will continue our series, The Upside-Down Kingdom, with Matthew 5:38-48. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' announcement of the in-breaking of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus has already challenged us on anger, lust, infidelity, and truthfulness. In our text this week, Jesus challenges our perspective on personal justice and how we treat those who despise us. We can hear the words, “love your enemies,” and give them a casual nod, or say something like, “we're called to love but not to like people,” but when we take the calling of Jesus Christ seriously, this might be the most difficult applications of the gospel to our lives. Go read Matthew 5:38-48 before Sunday. Note the response in your own heart and how quickly you might start minimizing or explaining away the actual calling we have.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

Sermon on the Mount: Kingdom Culture Love Your Enemies Matthew 5:43-48 Christ Church Kingwood June 08, 2025 Preacher: Matt LoBasso

Are you struggling to love those who hurt you? Jesus calls us to a higher standard—one that defies the natural instinct for revenge. In Luke 6:27–36, He commands us to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us. That kind of love isn't natural—it's supernatural. It's only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. This isn't optional; it's the mark of a true disciple. Our love must go beyond those who love us back—it must reflect the mercy and grace of our heavenly Father, who is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.Not only must we love, we must also refrain from retaliation and live by the golden rule: treating others as we wish to be treated. This message calls us to examine our own righteousness—are we trying to earn God's favor by our own standard, or have we received His mercy through Christ? Perfection is the requirement, and we all fall short. But in Christ, we find the righteousness we could never achieve on our own. Will you follow Him today—not just in word, but in how you love your enemies, forgive offenses, and live out God's radical grace?

“Love Your Enemies.” Matt 5:43-44

This week at our Perdido Key Campus, Senior Pastor Kyle Valaer continues preaching expositionally through the gospel of Luke in our series, “ And So It Begins.” We hope this resource is a blessing to you. For more information about the Point Church, please visit us online at www.tothepoint.church.Take Aways: Any attempt to believe in Jesus without allowing Him to change how you live is useless.When others seek to do you harm because of your faith, you seek to benefit them in real, tangible waysWhen others malign you, discredit you, and put you down because of your Christian walk, the Lord says to speak words that build them up.Prayer is where we really see how we view our enemies and what we really want for them.If you wait until you feel like loving your enemy, you'll never love your enemy.If we actually love other people as we love ourselves, then we need to act toward them like we'd want others to act toward us. 7. We ourselves are the recipients of the greatest expression of someone loving His enemies—that is, God loving His enemies.
