In the opening message of The Essential Jesus series, we begin with Jesus’ most challenging—and most essential—teaching: “Love your enemies.” In a world shaped by fear, division, selfishness, and blame, Jesus offers a radically different way of life—one that does not seek to defeat enemies, but to transform them through love.
Through the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, the witness of Paul and Silas in prison, and the call to reconciliation in 2 Corinthians, this sermon explores why loving enemies is not optional for Christians, but foundational. Jesus does not just command this way of life—Jesus lives it. And through the power of the Spirit, this essential teaching still has the power to heal hearts, communities, and cultures today.
