Accountability in Community

March 3, 2019 John Murray Accountability, Conflict, Reconciliation Galatians 4:12-20 Covenant and Common Prayer: Galatians

Resisting the appeal of passivity, confronting disagreement among friends:
It’s important that we, in community together, hold one another accountable and confront disagreement rather than let it fester. Wrestling with difference is a difficult, but important aspect of a covenant community. When doing so, as Paul writes here, it is most important to hold the relationship and trust above all – and not just connections, but intimate relationship.

Loving Our Enemies – Greg Boyd

October 2, 2016 Greg Boyd Anabaptist, Love, Pacifism, Prayer, Reconciliation Matthew 5:38-48 Sermon on the Mount

Greg Boyd shares that the perfect picture of God’s love is demonstrated in Jesus’ self-sacrificial act of love on the cross for his enemies. Thus, when Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount to love our enemies, he actually means it. Instead of retaliating against our enemies, followers of Jesus are to see our enemies as having unsurpassable worth, and to love them in the same way Jesus demonstrates his love for us.
