What To Do - September 6, 2026

📖 Scriptures: Matthew 5:38-48

🎙 Message: What To Do – Rev. Romy Velasco

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges our natural human instincts about justice, fairness, and human relationships. The ancient standard of "an eye for an eye" sought to limit retaliation, but Jesus pushes His followers even further, commanding us not to resist an evil person with revenge, but to respond with radical generosity and love.

Rev. Romy Velasco explores the practical implications of Christ’s instructions on turning the other cheek, going the extra mile, and giving freely. These teachings are not an encouragement to be passive, but an invitation to break the cycle of bitterness and demonstrate the supernatural peace and strength found only in God.

This message hits at the heart of daily Christian living. Loving those who love us is natural, but extending love, prayer, and goodwill toward those who oppose us reflects the very character of God, who sends rain and sunshine on the righteous and unrighteous alike. When we choose mercy over retaliation, we show the world what God's Kingdom truly looks like.

We warmly invite you to join us this Sunday as we gather to worship, study the Scriptures, and encourage one another in our faith journeys. Whether you are searching for answers or seeking a community to call home, our doors at Green Camp UMC are wide open to you.
