Скачать или смотреть Re-Ordering Love | Loving Like Jesus in a Divided World | Josh Olds | Vallonia Christian Church

In this sermon, Dr. Josh Olds explores what it means to re-order our loves in light of the Gospel. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) and the teachings of Augustine and Aquinas, Josh challenges the idea that love should follow a hierarchy—God, family, neighbor, nation, world—and shows how the Kingdom of God (or “Kin-dom” of God) turns that order upside down.

Love, as Jesus teaches, is limitless, risky, and transformative.
It stretches to our enemies, to those on the margins, and to everyone we’d rather exclude.
