Storied Church

In Week 3 of our Flourish sermon series, we continue exploring Jesus’ inaugural sermon in Matthew, where he challenges us to love not just those who are easy to love, but even our enemies. It’s easy to care for those who agree with us or support us, but what about those who challenge us, hurt us, or seem impossible to love? In this episode, we unpack how flourishing isn’t about avoiding discomfort but stepping into it—choosing love, mercy, and compassion even when it’s the hardest thing to do. Jesus redefines righteousness not as rule-following, but as living from a place of wholeness—embracing authenticity, vulnerability, and radical grace. How does this challenge the way we live and engage with the world around us?
