The Golden Rule

Written By Lexie Miller

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.

When people are difficult, Jesus doesn't tell us to avoid them. He calls us to engage with wisdom, grace, and courage. In Matthew 7, we're called to judge without a judgmental heart, pray when we feel stuck, and then act, even when no clear answer comes.

And we're not just called to treat others fairly, but to treat them as we would want to be treated when we fall short. This isn't passive kindness; it's relentless love. The kind that pursues, initiates, and reflects the heart of God Himself. Who's God calling you to love like that this week?
