No Excuse Not to Grow!
Most people would agree that it is not very difficult to reciprocate love to someone who loves and treats you well. We’ll even go to extreme lengths to demonstrate affection to those we care for, no matter the cost. But what about people who dislike, hurt, persecute or even, hate you? In our flesh, it seems unreasonable to expect someone to return love for hate, and kindness for cruelty, but that is exactly what Jesus calls us to do! Christ consistently showed love and compassion towards his enemies, even washing Judas’ feet while knowing that Judas would betray him the following day. Jesus loved us and died for us when we were still his enemies and did not know him. He demonstrates true, unconditional love as an example to emulate. We are not to love as the world loves, but to love exceptionally, as Jesus did. The bar has been raised!

Trusting in True Treasure P2
How do you live your life? Is it in surrender to God and generosity? Is it with a focus on the eternal treasure in heaven? If we’re honest, we may get distracted by pursuing and dwelling on material wealth, relationships, respect, and a good reputation. God’s interested in seeing our hearts completely devoted to him. Why? In Luke 12:34, Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” Our hearts reveal what we treasure (love and value) the most. In this message, Pastor Robbie explores the reality of treasuring Jesus in our daily lives.
