David Clipston: Jesus on Revenge

Southside Church Ayr

In this powerful episode, Pastor David Clipston dives deep into Matthew 5, where Jesus flips the script on the age-old concept of revenge. It's not eye for eye, nor passive avoidance — it’s something radically different. David unpacks what Jesus meant when He offered a “third way,” one that disarms hate without becoming hateful, and confronts injustice without becoming unjust.

This isn’t about rolling over or striking back — it’s about creative resistance rooted in love. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings, David challenges us to rethink how we respond when we’re wronged, and invites us into a lifestyle that defies both retaliation and resignation.

If you’ve ever struggled with forgiveness, anger, or the desire to get even, this episode will offer you a new perspective — bold, countercultural, and beautifully redemptive.

Tune in and discover what it means to walk the third way.
