Jesus most famous Sermon Part 7 Love your Enemies

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is Love your Enemies in Matthew 5.43-48. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

This last weekend was really special. I got to be part of officiating the wedding of a young man and his now wife. I technically met him first when he was a child and I helped with a day program at a church in his neighborhood, but dont remember that. Then about 12 years ago by that time he was grown up we connected through a mutual friend and I have been meeting with him regularly talking about questions he had about God and life and just general things. He became a wonderful friend over all those years. 2 month ago I was at his ordination ceremony of him becoming one of the Pastors at the church we had the day camp at. And Saturday I got to share the sermon at his wedding. I love how God works!! With that I want to encourage you that if God puts someone in your life who He is calling you to invest in do it!!

 

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask Jesus for strength through the Holy Spirit to love your enemies. Start to pray for them and ask Jesus to show you His heart for that person.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We had such a wonderful time at the retreat of a church in San Francisco who invited us to share for the weekend. We had a group of 35 people who we shared with about loving your neighbor and building community right where you are at. So much good conversation was had and so many good plans to start loving the ones around them started. What a wonderful time!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Isobel Kuhn. Ask yourself these 2 questions: Where is God calling you to? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus or is it more just head knowledge? If this is the case start a personal relationship with Him!!

Have a blessed week

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful celebration of Jesus resurrection during last Easter weekend and the week leading up to it!! I was greeting at church that Sunday and we had so many people come visit from all over who were visiting San Francisco. All of them wanted to be at church to celebrate that special day. But lets all remember that all year around that Jesus is alive!!

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask Jesus to help you to react in love.

Hi our friend

He is risen, He is risen indeed!! With these words we want to wish you a blessed Easter

We hope you had a wonderful Holy Week and Easter. Ours was busy but really good. We had a brunch, this time at a neighbors house which was fun! We also hosted our small group were we are talking about Isaiah and so fitting this week about the suffering servant pointing to Jesus. We also spend time to prep more for the retreat and things are really coming together. And then of course we will have a Easter celebration with our church today (Sunday).

But in all the business Jen and I both found time to reflect on the things this week is really about Jesus suffering, death and resurrection. I feel every year that truth sinks in deeper.

Also don’t forget like we heard in the video Jesus is calling for you too! He loves you so much!!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you are having a blessed Holy week.

Last week was a special week! We celebrated Calebs 5th birthday! One time with his friends in the park and on his actual day we went as a family to a Monster Truck Show which is one of his favorite things! He even got to ride on the back of a Monster Truck! Thank you God for giving us Caleb, our wonderful Son! We love him so much!!

At the end of todays blog we want to encourage you to read John 13-17 and Luke 22 this week about the last meal of Jesus and his friends before the cross and spend some time reflecting on it.
