Loving My Enemies

from First Baptist Joplin · host John Swadley

John Swadley | Luke 6:27-36This powerful teaching from Luke 6:27-36 challenges us to examine the most radical aspect of Christian love: loving our enemies. We're confronted with Jesus' counter-cultural command to do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who abuse us. We discover that enemies aren't just obvious adversaries; they're anyone who's hard to love—difficult coworkers, hurtful family members, or those who've wounded us deeply. This isn't about mushy feelings; it's about making a deliberate choice to reflect God's character in a world desperately needing to see authentic Christianity lived out.
