Love2Live2Love – most people want that in concept. But in reality, most of us find ourselves not loving as God would have us. We want to…but we don’t. In today’s sermon, we will be equipped with scriptural tools to overcome the obstacles of grace. Grace is continuing to love even when offended.
Matthew 5:38-48
Grace When It’s Hardest To Love | Vertical Living: [10]
Matthew 5:38-48
Christ followers are not just responsible for what they do – but also for the impression they give. This week will be a paradigm shift for each of us as we transition from an easy and average perspective of judgment to one of mercy. Mercy is diffi cult and must be learned – because where it is absent, God is blasphemed, Satan will gain a foothold and Christianity becomes a joke.

Matthew 9:9-13
Offense is an obstacle to love. And the cost of unresolved offense is great. For this cause, God takes it very seriously. No matter your personality, the prescription for resolution is universal. God is the resource and reason for loving others. Matthew 5:21-47
The Necessity of Resolving Offense | Vertical Living: [08]
Matthew 5:21-47
What is your love story as it pertains to love for God? Jesus said, the sincerity of your love for God is on display in the record of your actions toward the person in your life you find hardest to love. As followers of Christ we do this willingly and gladly. And while love is not the only thing that matters – it is the method to accomplish everything that does.
