Loving People As Jesus Loved Them (2 of 6)
Series: WHAT WOULD JESUS DO
Stan Coffey
Matthew 9:36
We are in a series of sermons entitled "What Would Jesus Do?" And today I am going to talk about "Loving People As Jesus Loved People". In these messages we will be talking about loving people as Jesus loved them, touching people as Jesus touched them, and seeing people as Jesus saw them.

Now when you look at the Word of God, there is no question that the heart of the Lord Jesus was for people. In fact the Bible says Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. When I think about rescuing t ...
