Our Enemies

Sermon on the Mount: Our EnemiesSpeaker: Rev. Kelly J. TamScripture: Matthew 5:43-48 (NLT) Teaching about Love for Enemies43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’[q] and hate your enemy. 44 But I say, love your enemies![r] Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. 46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47 If you are kind only to your friends,[s] how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.—Matthew 4:43-48Walking in the Narrow Path of Love.How can we love our enemies?Let’s put it into practice:1. Pray for those who are against you2. Seek to bless and not retaliate3. Forgive as Christ has forgiven Us
