Hard to Love: Loving Difficult People

As Christians, we’re supposed to love everyone. But what do we do about the people who are hard to love? This three-week adult series is about loving people we find it difficult to love (family, enemies, people different from us). By looking at how Jesus dealt with difficult people, different people, and downright unloving people, we see how he gives us an example to follow, and how his Spirit gives us strength to walk the “the Jesus Way” toward those who are hard to love.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 3 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
