Today’s conversation brings us to the end of our “One Another” series as we look at living in harmony with one another with special guest speaker, Pastor Jerry Casey of Providence Church. This conversation is a culmination of the journey we have taken throughout this series. As we finish out this series it is our hope that we have both encouraged and equipped you to not only embody the love of Jesus, but also to share it with the world around you. For it is written, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Love Your Enemy | David Amsden | May 31, 2026
And how do you respond when people hurt you, oppose you, or work against you?
In this message from our Upside Down Way of God series, we explore one of the most challenging teachings of Jesus from Matthew 5:43-48 and Luke 6:27-36. While culture teaches outrage, retaliation, and tribalism, Jesus teaches a different way: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
Together, we unpack how hatred and bitterness shape the human soul, how modern culture profits from outrage, and why Jesus calls His followers to refuse becoming what wounded them. Most importantly, we discover that loving enemies is not weakness—it is one of the clearest ways we resemble our Father in heaven. Because while we were still enemies, God moved toward us through Christ.
The world understands revenge.
What shocks people is mercy.
