3. In the community Matthew 5:38-48 How do you love? 3. In the community Matthew 5:38-48

4 loves Affection (storge) Brotherly love (philia) Erotic (eros) Self-giving (agape) What kind of love does Jesus ask for when Christians build community?

The Sermon on the Mount Jesus is laying out what it’s like to live in the kingdom of heaven (with God in charge) It’s about blessing (5:1-12) It’s about influence (5:13-16) It’s about attitude to other people (5:17-48) It’s about how you express your faith (6:1-18) It’s about values (6:19-7:6) The kingdom of heaven is ALL of these together – transforming you to see yourself & the world as God sees them and living accordingly

Jesus wants you to be different He made you capable of giving all kinds of love He wants you to love other people unconditionally (agapé) Loving doesn’t mean agreeing with them This love… Is Self-sacrificing and other focussed Hears the voice of the ‘selfish me’ within and trusts that God is right Raises another up and lets them become all that they were intended to be without fear that they will become better than you

God wants you to see what He sees in others Every person in our community has the potential to Touch God and be touched by God Find an eternal home in heaven through Jesus Christ Make a difference in the name of Christ Lose themselves in Christ only to find their true selves in Him They are potential sharers in the kingdom of God With God’s help you’ll be able to express this kind of love to others

God is watching with interest and says I made you to get the best from others My kind of love does that I want your church to be like the one I imagined And founded on this kind of love I want your reputation to be great Built on the kind of love God gives us None of the apostles let this standard of love slip God says ‘Let me in and I’ll show you how to do it at the next level’
