This sermon comes from Luke 6:27-42 and is about the implications of the Golden Rule. In the sermon, Jesus uses 9 imperatives to tell his disciples what loving other people looks like in its action. He only uses two negative verbs to say what NOT to do. Indeed, love is more about what we do than we don't do.

Ephesians 5:21-6:9 serves as the foundation for this sermon. In the text, Paul teaches the Ephesian Christians how one should live in a household. What he describes is a life of loving self-sacrifice. In 5:32, Paul discusses his real motive in the teaching when he says, "This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one." This passage gives one of the best descriptions of how much Christ loves the church and what he was willing to sacrifice for the church.

This sermon comes from Romans 1:8-15 in which Paul talks about the privilege he felt being able to carry the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles. The sermon examines the discrimination that arose in the Roman church as a result of an exile imposed on Roman Jews between 41 and 52 AD. In light of the discrimination that existed between Jews and Gentiles the book of Romans was written by Paul to provide instruction on how the Roman Christians should treat each other.

This sermon comes from Luke 15:1-7 and takes a look at the parables of the lost coin, lost sheep, and lost son.
