Love as an Action Verb

"Love as an Action Verb" – Luke 6:27-38 

Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, February 23, 2025.

"Friends, love of enemies, forgiveness as we have been forgiven, these actions, these decisions do not always come swiftly. They often do not come easily.

"This is where and why I think it’s important to note – I think it’s important for you to remember – that Jesus preached this sermon to a great number. This command wasn’t to one or even to a few. It was to the community. There is no way we’d be able to live the commands of 
Luke 6 on our own. . . .  set yourself in a community that helps do this with you, that can help do this for you.

"When you can’t find the strength to do it on your own, look around you, look within you, seek God’s help to find it for you."
