Love Your Neighbor as Yourself by Church of the Living Christ

Messy, Part 1: Love Your Neighbor as Yourself. Let’s be honest, loving others isn’t easy. It’s easy when people are nice to us and they’re acting lovable, but what about when they’re not? Jesus calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves, regardless of how they are acting toward us.

“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18, NIV).

Love is way more than a feeling. Love is a verb. It’s an attitude that requires action. Loving others looks like helping someone when it’s not convenient, giving when it hurts, pouring energy into the welfare of others rather than our own, absorbing the hurts from others without retaliating or fighting back. This kind of love is hard work! On our own, it’s impossible. But God thrives in impossibilities. He increases our capacity to love supernaturally through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

In the early ’60s, the Assemblies of God church of Canoga Park planted a new church in Simi Valley. The gatherings were held in a home on the east end of the valley until the house-church purchased the property at 171 Royal Avenue. Over the decades we have seen God move in powerful ways, transform lives, and the future looks bright!

We are taking intentional steps to meet the needs of a post-Christian world that is embedded in a postmodern cultural context. We believe the Gospel is “the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes” and are committed to living for Jesus in a secular world while loving people with the love of Christ (Romans 1:16).

We’d love to meet you in person. If you would like to visit our church, our campus is located on the west end of Simi Valley. Click on the following link for directions: Church of the Living Christ
