How do our reactions reflect our trust in God? Join pastor Arnold Palaganas as he dives into the difficult topic of loving your enemies, a challenging command from Jesus. This powerful message from PORTICO Mississauga will inspire and challenge you to live out this radical call in your own life. If we truly believe that God is in control, why do we react negatively when faced with challenges? Jesus raises the standard, calling us to love not just those who love us, but even those who hurt us. This is the kind of love that sets us apart as His followers.
