THIS SUNDAY AT KFUMC:
August 23, 2026
Lavish Love
Leader: Pastor Jae
Scripture: Luke 6:27-38
What if the person God is calling you to love is the one you'd rather avoid?
Jesus said: 👉 Love your enemies. 👉 Bless those who curse you. 👉 Pray for those who mistreat you.
These aren't suggestions. They're an invitation to reflect the extravagant love God has shown us.
Join us this Sunday for "Lavish Love" from Luke 6:27-38 and discover how God's mercy can transform our relationships and our hearts.
