In Week 3 of our "Love Thy Neighborhood" we unpack the resistance faced by believers in the pursuit of living out Jesus's teachings. John prepares us for the reality of encountering hate and hostility towards the teachings of Jesus and God's love, especially in environments where these principles aren't accepted or practice. The confrontation of opposition is a necessary step in enacting Jesus' teachings. To do this we have to maintain the right perspective and practice righteousness.

The sermon "Home Invaders" emphasizes building our lives on a solid foundation and protecting our homes from spiritual invaders. It explores the roles and responsibilities of men and women in the home, highlighting the importance of providing, protecting, and regulating God's image and likeness. The sermon warns against pride and apathy as destructive home invaders. Believers are called to be vigilant and resist these invaders, ensuring that their lives and relationships are grounded in God's truth and protected from destruction.
