Go Beyond "Getting Along" - Luke 6:27-38 - 7th Sunday after Epiphany - February 23, 2025

Thanks for joining us! We live in a challenging time in history. Everyone seems out to get each other, and the idea of loving our enemies is far from what we want to do. Listen in to hear what God commands of us, and how to love others as you would have them love you, not based on how they actually treat us. Look to God's example, and the great compassion he has shone to all of us!

If you're local, come on by! We'd love to meet you. We're located at 3800 Hondo Pass, El Paso, TX 79904

Luke 6:27-38

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 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? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
