Luke 6:31-36

Listen to Luke 6:31-36
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Exceptional Love with Exceptional Motives, Part 2
Exceptional Love with Exceptional Motives, Part 2
Pastor Mike Fabarez

“You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” seems to be the standard cultural contract of our day.  It’s an understanding based on mutual self-interest.  We agree to love those…who love us in return. But on this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that Jesus calls us to adopt a more revolutionary way of caring for others. In Luke, chapter 6, Jesus delivered a sermon that raised the bar beyond the tenets of “The Golden Rule.”

Exceptional Love with Exceptional Motives, Part 1
Pastor Mike Fabarez

Jesus said, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”  Many people know this as The Golden Rule … and even those who don’t consider themselves Christians agree it’s a good rule to follow.  That’s because The Golden Rule is generally believed to be a call to common courtesy.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that Jesus isn’t calling us to polite interaction, but Exceptional Love with Exceptional Motives!
