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.

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