## Resource

Loving difficult people is one thing in theory. It is another thing in real life. In Week 3 of Transformed, Pastor Chris teaches from Romans 12 and invites us to move beyond performative love into the genuine love Jesus has shown us. This message explores empathy, prayer, blessing, doing good, and forgiveness—not as ways to deny pain, but as ways to let God transform our hearts. If you are carrying offense, struggling with bitterness, or wondering how to respond to someone who has hurt you, this message offers guidance and practical next step. Speaker: Chris Cary Series: Transformed Week: 3 Date: July 12, 2026 Scripture referenced: Romans 12:9-10, Romans 12:20-21, John 13, Luke 23:34 Connect with us: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give
