The Future of Everything - Week 2
Often, during the Christmas Season, we are surrounded by those we love the most. And there’s something beautiful about that. But. If love is the highest Christian ethic, and loving everyone is the way that CHrist loved, then that’s a good deal more difficult. Jay Kim speaks about two ends of the spectrum of people who are challenging to love: one because it’s easy to forget about them (namely, the global poor and those in need) and the other because we don’t WANT to love them (our enemies).
In the opening chapter of 1 Thessalonians, Paul writes some deeply encouraging words to this early church, commending them for the way they’re living out their faith. We all need some encouragement, especially in trying times. Steve offers some encouragement of his own, showing that whether you’re depleted, feeling divided or distracted in your faith, there are ways forward.
