What would it look like if Christians put into practice these counter-intuitive words of Jesus: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you? 

This weekend we dive into that life-changing, world-transforming call as we continue our series: Get Used to Different: Following Jesus through Luke’s Gospel. (You can read the Bible passage for this weekend below.)

Next weekend, during our online and in-house worship services, Dr. Michael and Gurian and I will be talking about how to build resilience in our kids and grandkids. We’ll do a free seminar in the afternoon for parents and grandparents.

Luke 6: 27 “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 from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
