Loving Your Enemies
Sermon by Martin Luther King Jr. Delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, on 17 November 1957
I am forced to preach under something of a handicap this morning. In fact, I had the doctor before coming to church. And he said that it would be best for me to stay in the bed this morning. And I insisted that I would have to come to preach. So he allowed me to come out with one stipulation, and that is that I would not come in the pulpit until time to preach, and that after, that I would immediately go back home and get in the bed. So I’m going to try to follow his instructions from that point on.

“Proud of the guys overcoming three turnovers in the first half. Gave ourselves a shot to win at the end. Unfortunately, didn't make enough plays at the end to get off the field. But we ran the ball well. Battled with it. And just unfortunately they made two huge plays at the end and then converted. So, a disappointing way that we finished the season.
