Neighbors and Enemies

Who exactly is our neighbor? Are we permitted to hate our enemies? In this week’s broadcast, Pastor Ben Winslett explores Jesus’ striking command to love not only our neighbors but also our enemies. Drawing from Matthew 5 and Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, we examine the deeper spiritual meaning behind the law and how this teaching reveals both the futility of Pharisaical righteousness and the perfection found only in Christ.

Discover how genuine Christian love transcends social circles, prejudice, and even personal animosity—shining forth as evidence of our identity as God’s children.
