The way of Jesus, of His Kingdom, sets us free from the tyrrany of personal vendetta. We are free to forgive and love and help people who hurt us, who wound our pride, and who persecute us, who anger us. We are free to give away what we have knowing that God, who owns everything, is able to provide and protect and repay so that there will always be, in the end, justice, though we may see much injustice around us. God knows. Remember, while being hurt, Jesus neither fought back, nor ran away, rather he absorbed the hurt and forgave those responsible. The Spirit of Jesus is within all those who follow Him, trusting Him, those who've been born from above. LORD, help us to be different than we are. Recorded at Refuge TLH on Sunday, July 14, 2019.

We are told to love our neighbor as ourselves, or better still as Christ has loved us. But who is our neighbor? Do we decide who our neighbor is or is that out of our control. Or do those around us determine if we are a loving neighbor or not. We will answer these questions today.

In the face of a global shutdown unprecedented in most of our lives, with churches cancelling services and scrambling to stream worship and teaching online, many are wondering how we can possibly "be the church" if we can't "go to church." But God is not surprised. And just as he used persecution in the early Church to spread the Good News of Jesus to the world, he can—and will—use our present circumstances to take that Good News into our neighborhoods and cities...and the world.
