Encounter Faith Podcast

Sermon Replay: 7.20.25 - Pastor Tara Beth

Good Shepherd Church Season 2 Episode 207

Pastor Tara Beth Leach delves into Jesus’ radical call to love our enemies in her sermon from the Sermon on the Mount. Using the concept of “antithesis,” where Jesus challenges our everyday understanding of love and morality, Pastor Tara Beth reminds us that loving only those who love us is far from the Kingdom calling. Instead, Jesus dares us to elevate our love to a divine standard—one that requires us to extend grace even toward those who seek to harm us. 

SHOW NOTES

The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.

We’d love to meet you! Email us, check out our website, and come worship with us!

We are moving forward in faith. Join us.

Today’s message was originally delivered on Sunday July 20  in our Worship Center and you can watch it here.
