When you live a righteous life, you are bound to encounter some enemies. When Jesus taught the sermon on the mount, He showed us how to ‘Love Thy Enemies”.

In this message, Pastor Jordan Boyce teaches us how loving your enemies makes you more like Jesus.

May we reflect Jesus, not just by how we live, but how we love.
