Key Theme:
In the face of evil and injustice, we need to yield our personal rights, forgiving enemies, and overcoming evil with good for the glory of God.
Key Application:
Live in such a way that your love, forgiveness, and gentleness toward others—even enemies—make Jesus unmistakably visible.
Key Verses:
Matthew 5:45 “so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Key Questions:
1. Am I more passionate about defending my own comfort and freedoms, or about advancing the kingdom of God through humility and love?
2. Is there someone in my life right now—an enemy, a critic, or someone who has hurt me—that I need to start praying for and showing kindness toward?
3. When someone wrongs or insults me, do I instinctively seek to protect my pride—or do I respond in a way that reflects Jesus’ grace?
Sermon Scripture for next week: Read Matthew 6:1-4

Give Online
Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
