Love Your Enemies: The Radical Way of Jesus

In Week 9 of the Luke series, this sermon unpacks one of Jesus’ most countercultural teachings from Luke 6: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” Far from being a soft, abstract idea, this command requires radical, Spirit-empowered transformation. The message highlights how routines, spiritual habits, and self-righteousness can form ruts that prevent growth—and how only through the Holy Spirit can believers begin to resemble Jesus in real, practical ways.

You’ll be invited to reflect honestly on your own heart: Who are your enemies? Who brings out the worst in you? Through humor, real-life analogies, and gospel truth, this sermon calls listeners to flip the script—not by trying harder, but by allowing Christ to love through them. With practical steps like extending generosity, letting go of judgment, and embracing the humility of Christ, we’re reminded that loving enemies isn’t optional for Jesus' apprentices—it’s the way of the Kingdom.

Ultimately, you’ll be asked a deeply personal question: What do people get when they get you? Just you—or Christ in you?
