Is loving our enemies really a non-negotiable for Christians? If we're being honest, our verse this month is a hard one to live out. What is Jesus calling us to believe that we aren’t believing? Why is it a non-negotiable to love our enemies? And how can we live that way? Join Natalie Abbott, co-founder of Dwell Differently, as she walks us through the context of this passage, looking at the 2 ways of living Jesus talks about, why loving our enemies is non-negotiable, and the difference it makes when we consider the mercy of God and his kindness toward us. We pray this verse would take root today, encouraging you to live in a way that is beautiful and otherworldly and, most importantly, like our Father.

This month’s memory verse: “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” — Luke 6:27
