Love Your Enemies | Matthew 5:38-48 | The Jesus Way, Week 5 | Zohary Ross - New North Church

Pastor Zohary Ross continues The Jesus Way: Journey Through the Sermon on the Mount, exploring Jesus’ radical call to love our enemies, reject retaliation, and reflect God's perfect love. Jesus doesn’t lower the standard—He calls us to be transformed into His likeness.Matt 5:38-42Retaliation v Reconciliation. What would it look like to give more than is required? Read Romans 12:18. In what relationships do you need peace?Is there anyone around you to whom you need to extend “second mile” service?Matt 5:43-48We have a choice how we respond. When is it difficult to extend grace instead of holding onto being “right”?Jesus loved us - while we were his enemies (Rom 5:8-10). Who can you show Christ-like love to this week?Pray: For one another to surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit in making us perfect (mature and complete) and growing us into unoffendable peace-makers.Zohary RossFebruary 2, 2025Matthew 5:38-48The Jesus Way: Journeying Through the Sermon on the Mountwww.newnorth.church
