About this episode
The episode explores the relational priorities and practices Jesus teaches for his church, emphasizing the importance of love over tribalism.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring the relational priorities and practices Jesus gives for his church in Matt 5.21-48. We believe that Jesus knows best – he’s the wisest teacher to have ever lived – and doing relationships as he describes them will always lead to flourishing for us and others. We believe that Jesus modeled all of these relational priorities and practices, showing us in his life how we ought to live. And we believe that Jesus has given us – in his life, death, resurrection, and gift of his Spirit – all the resources we need to live this kind of life together.
