Throughout March, our messages have proclaimed Jesus’ relational priorities of loving God, loving neighbors, and loving one another. This week, we will conclude with a proclamation from John’s famous love passage (I John 4:7-5:4). From this passage we will learn what to do when we don’t feel very loving toward others.
Sermons from March 2022
Our families can teach us a lot about ‘tough love’. Being in a family often requires loving those who drive us nuts, and enduring hardships together in a way that’s totally unique from any other type of relationship in our lives. After having explored what it means to love God and love our neighbors, this week Tara Farrell brings a message that explores Jesus’ new commandment of “love one another”. We discuss why this can be the most challenging (and rewarding) type of love and why it’s vitally important to the family of Christ.
Do you have a longing to someday, somehow do something outside the status quo to make a difference for others who are not yet a part of God’s family? If so, join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. to discover Christ’s passion to bring hope to the hopeless, to identify possible barriers keeping you from doing so, and to reflect on the gifts and resources He has given to you for the good of others and the glory of God.
Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God and the second is to love our neighbors. A few days later he gave a third new commandment to love one another. Do you ever feel unworthy of God’s love? Do you ever wish you could love God more consistently? Do you have any frustrating relationships with others who are in the family of God? Do you want to be a more positive influence for Christ with your co-workers, classmates and neighbors? If so, join us each Sunday in March at 9 a.m. as we begin this Sunday by exploring the unconditional love of God and practical ways to express our love for him followed (in future Sundays) by Jesus’ guidance regarding loving others.
