Outline

Intro: Do you have anybody in your life that you would describe as an enemy? How does your faith shape the way you relate to them?

I. THE SOUL-DESTROYING SIN
"Envy is pain caused by the good fortune of others.” - Aristotle

II. A COAL-HEAPING LOVE
"I only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.” - Dorothy Day

III. AN ENEMY-LOVING GOD
"Forgiveness flounders when we exclude the enemy from the community of humans even as we exclude ourselves from the community of sinners.” – Miraslov Volf

Takeaway: The kingdom comes when the lion and the lamb lay down together!
