Jesus gives us the most radical ethic of love that's ever been put forth: “Turn the other cheek.” This ethic has been criticized and disregarded, but no one ever says the reason is because it's too low or vile or unworthy. They always say it's too high, too lofty. The reason it seems so lofty is it's a whole new dimension. The love ethic in Matthew 5 is part of a package. The package is that Christianity itself is actually an interconnected set of radically altered relationships. A new relationship with God creates a new relationship with yourself, creates a new relationship with others. They can't be separated. They rise and fall together, and you can't have one without the others.  Let's take a look at those three aspects. As we move through this passage, we'll see 1) the understanding of the self, 2) the relationship with others, and 3) the root of it all: a new relationship with God. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 3, 1989. Series: Ten Commandments 1989. Scripture: Matthew 5:21-24; 38-48.

2023-11-23 - Love Your Enemy： Matthew 5_33-48 [8n-N_PZK3fw] by Salvador Flores III

Where are you holding onto the burden of bitterness? This week, hear a powerful & important message from our friend & guest speaker, Eric Praschan. Out of Matthew 5:43-48, listen as we dive into the call of Jesus to love our enemies. Be encouraged!

Did Yeshua contradict Moses when He said, “love your enemies”? We show how Matthew 5:43–48 aligns with Exodus 23:4–5 and why Yeshua corrected tradition, not Torah. We also explain “be perfect” (teleios) as spiritual maturity and give practical steps to love enemies. Scriptures (4–6):Matthew 5:43–48; Exodus 23:4–5; Leviticus 19:18; Luke 6:27–28; Romans 5:10; Matthew 5:17 Takeaway (1–2 sentences):Loving our enemies isn't optional; it's how we resemble our Father. Pray, greet, and help even those who oppose you—this is mature obedience.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The teaching of Jesus in Luke 6:27, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,” is arguably one of the most hard commands in all of scripture. When applied to the pain of defamation, of being maliciously attacked, of being slandered, or ridiculed, this verse calls us not to passive endurance, but to an active, counterintuitive response that defeats the enemy's aim without compromising our own soul.God bless,Rev Leon

Reflecting on Jesus's call to love our enemies and the Apostle Paul's exhortation to “rejoice always,” she describes how Scripture, prayer, and gratitude sustain her work in the U.S. Senate.From bipartisan collaboration to the challenges of resisting an authoritarian executive branch, Gillibrand speaks candidly about the challenges of embodying gentleness and compassion in politics, consistently seeking spiritual solidarity with colleagues across the aisle. Drawing on Philippians 4, she testifies to the peace of God that transcends understanding, revealing a vision of political life animated by faith, courage, and joy—all in the spirit of hope, humility, and the enduring call to love in public service.Episode Highlights“Faith is the greatest gift you could have. It grounds me; it reminds me why I'm here and what my life is supposed to be about.”“We can disagree about public policy, but we don't have to be in disagreement as people.”“Jesus defied expectations—he welcomed the stranger, he fed the hungry, he loved his enemies.”“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, rejoice… let your gentleness be evident to all.”“I pray for wisdom every day.

Today we're sharing Arthur Brooks' keynote from Restore this last weekend. This message was so powerful—it will stop you in your tracks, and feels so essential for this exact moment. We believe it needs to be heard everywhere—in our homes, our communities, and across the country—so we're sharing it with you now.This year we gathered at Utah Valley University for Restore, where just two weeks earlier Charlie Kirk was assassinated while addressing a large crowd. So soon after such horrific violence, the campus itself carried a real weight of grief and uncertainty. Arthur walked straight into that heaviness with so much clarity and conviction—and called us toward a powerful vision of moral courage and discipleship.His message was bold. He confronted unflinchingly what's really breaking us apart—not political division, but the deeper poison of contempt. And then he challenged us with this: Moral courage isn't standing up to the people you disagree with—moral courage is standing up to your own side on behalf of those you disagree with.Arthur says tolerance and civility are too low a bar. The real standard is much higher. It's the Sermon on the Mount. It's loving our enemies—not as a feeling, but as radical, concrete, countercultural action.Arthur wove together science, story, faith, and humor into something deeply personal and urgently needed. His challenge was clear: if we want a different kind of country, we have to become a different kind of people.This felt like a spark. Now the work of discipleship begins. We also want to mention that you can watch this presentation on our youtube channel. Arthur is a super engaging presenter and we strongly recommend that you watch this one. If you bought a ticket for Restore this year, we will email you the recordings as soon we they're edited!
