What does it really mean to build God's Kingdom rather than our own empire?
In this message, Liz Gregg explores three remarkable encounters from Luke 7 and Mark 7, revealing the radical compassion of Jesus towards those society rejected—the Gentile woman, the sinful woman, and the widow whose son had died. Rather than seeing labels, failures, or divisions, Jesus saw people through the Father's eyes and responded with transformative love.
As we reflect on Jesus' command to love our neighbours—and even our enemies—we're challenged to ask: Who are \"those people\" in our own lives? How can we move beyond irritation, prejudice, and self-protection to become people of Kingdom compassion?
Drawing on personal stories, pastoral experience, and insights from Blake Healy's Through the Veil, this episode offers a practical invitation to see others as God sees them and to allow His love to shape our responses.
Whether you're wrestling with difficult relationships, longing to grow in compassion, or seeking to live more fully in God's Kingdom, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to love like Jesus.
