Sermon

Love Your Enemies

August 30, 2020 Jim SuppSermonsLuke

The closest you will ever come to being like Jesus in this life is when you respond to those who are hostile toward you the way He did with those who were so hostile toward Him.

Love Your Enemies

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing you found especially challenging, encouraging, or helpful from this message?
  2. What is your first reaction when you hear or read Jesus’ command to “love your enemies”? Does anyone come to mind whom you would classify as your “enemy”?
  3. Read and discuss Matthew 5:17-48. Based on this passage, what should love and righteous living look like for a believer? How does looking to Christ help us to grow in these areas He mentions in Matthew 5?
  4. Pastor Supp said that “the closest you will ever come to being like Jesus in this life is when you respond to those who are hostile toward you the way He did with those who were so hostile toward Him.” What do you think about that statement? What does this look like in our daily lives?
  5. Spend some time praying that the Lord would help you learn to love your enemies well and become more like Christ.
