Message from Andy Koesters on February 2, 2025
Forgiving those who have hurt us is a challenging call. Fr. Mike explains what it means to "forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." We learn that forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing and that we can transform our hurt into intercession with God's grace. We ask the Lord to soften our hearts so that they may remain open to loving and forgiving others. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2838-2845. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
Jesus' message is radical: to love our enemies instead of seeking retaliation or revenge. When we take our eyes off of ourselves and our rights, it reveals a heart that is at home in the kingdom of heaven. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shares three perspectives from Jesus on enemy-love. Jesus is still turning our world, and our thought processes, upside down.

In our journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we see the profound teachings of Jesus, focusing on Matthew 5:33-48. This passage challenges us to live radically in honesty, justice, and love, reflecting the heart of God in our daily lives. Jesus calls us to a higher standard, one that transcends mere legal compliance and touches the very core of our being—our hearts. The Pharisees, in their adherence to the law, often missed the spirit behind it, leading to a life of legalism and self-righteousness. Jesus, however, fulfills the law, inviting us to embrace its true intent: a heart fully surrendered to God. The teachings on oaths remind us that our words should be truthful, reflecting the integrity of Christ. We are called to let our "yes" be yes and our "no" be no, embodying truth in all we say and do. This honesty is not just about avoiding falsehood but about living in a way that our words are always trustworthy. In addressing retaliation, Jesus turns societal norms on their head. Instead of seeking revenge, we are to offer grace and mercy, even to those who wrong us. This radical love is not about being passive but about choosing humility and peace over retribution. Jesus exemplifies this through His own life, urging us to follow His example. Loving our enemies is perhaps the most challenging of Jesus' commands. It requires us to extend love and prayer to those who oppose us, reflecting the unconditional love God shows us. This love is not based on feelings but is a deliberate choice to act in love, even when it is difficult. Ultimately, Jesus calls us to be perfect, as our Heavenly Father is perfect. This perfection is about maturity and fulfilling our purpose as followers of Christ. It is about living out the radical love, grace, and truth that Jesus embodies, empowered by the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts and lives.

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' most well-known teaching and the most famous sermon in history. Yet, it's possibly the least understood and obeyed of His teachings. This sermon wasn't intended to be merely famous; Jesus preached it for it to be lived out by His followers.As we dive into the Sermon on the Mount, we will discover how to live lives that are different and distinct so that the watching world may see and believe.This week, Pastor Jim Mullins teaches out of Matthew 5:38-48WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved, or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app https://pushpay.com/get?handle=redemptiontempe&source=externalOR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/redemptiontempe...Twitter: https://twitter.com/redemptionTEMInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/redemptiontempe....GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

Pastor Jim explores the well-known parable of the Good Samaritan, cautioning against the oversimplification of its message and stressing the importance of understanding its deeper meanings and context. He discusses how the parable intertwines the law, eternal life, and the notion of being a good neighbor, urging listeners to reflect on their relationship with God and their behavior towards others. Jim highlights that true eternal life is realized through understanding the heart of the Father and demonstrating compassion, as exemplified by the Samaritan's actions towards his enemy, which underscore the value of people over ritual purity. Further delving into the themes of loving one's enemies and neighbors, he emphasizes that genuine love stems from a profound relationship with God, driven by His love, rather than from obligation or an attempt to justify oneself.

The post Loving Enemies appeared first on Redemption's Hill Church.
2000 years ago on what is now known as Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem to address his enemies head-on. What he did was so unexpected, so counter-cultural that we’re still talking about it today. Prepare to be inspired this Palm Sunday by what Jesus has to say about Overcoming Your Enemies.

Jesus call to love our enemies cuts across partisan lines and there is much that can be said about the failure to love on all sides. However, I feel the need to address a form of religious extremism happening in the church in America because it promotes a hatred of enemies and threat of violence as though these are compatible with being a follower of Jesus. We rarely win arguments by pointing out what is wrong with the other, but maybe we can point to Jesus.

At our 2nd Breakfast service, Walter followed up on his fall workshops by inviting discussion of how we can stay in good relationships with those whose views differ greatly from our own on many issues of the day. We concluded that we're tired of referring to these folks (often family members, co-workers and neighbours) as 'enemies.' The post More on Loving Enemies appeared first on St. Croix Church.

Former pastor at Seacoast Church and Lead Pastor at Mosaic Church in Charlotte, Naeem Fazal was born in Kuwait and is an Ex-Muslim. He wrote a book with the very title: Ex-Muslim. He joins Pastor Greg Surratt and Joey Svendsen to discuss the war in Israel. The three discuss various sentiments many Christians have toward Israel (for some, these sentiments are sacred) and how these thoughts can potentially be a distraction from the church's primary purpose in this world. Along the way, the three discuss evil, including what the church's role is, in combatting it. One reads in the bible that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" (Ephesians 6:12) as well as Jesus' command to "love enemies." But there seems to be times in which violence is unavoidable, given the deeper aim at loving and protecting the oppressed. How does one navigate the tension of hating evil while still loving enemies?

This week we'll be studying Matthew 4:21-24, 38-48 under the theme of "Loving Enemies." Almost every society in history has advocated for demonstrating kindness, love, and generosity toward family and friends. Christianity's unique teaching, however, encourages us to take a smack in the face from an enemy, while not running, not hitting back, and not enabling the wrongdoer to do it again. The Savior who took hell in our place teaches us that grace neither repays sin, nor permits sin, but pays for sins.
