Learning to love our neighbors as ourselves is near to the core of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. While there are many good reasons to choose to love, in the end we need God’s help if we are ever going to love our neighbors as He loves us.
To Know Him and Make Him Known
Sermons on Matthew
Feeling love for God isn’t enough – God has called us to love Him with our minds, too. Join us as Pastor Toby discusses both WHY we should love God with our minds and HOW we can get started.
The next logical step after receiving God’s love is to reciprocate that love. Jesus calls us to do this, in part, by feeling strong emotions for God in our “heart”, or inner self. Nurturing and maintaining this passion for God is of utmost importance!
The cross where Jesus died is the ultimate proof we really are loved by God. Jesus’s decision to die for us, motivated by love, convinces us of that truth, as do the many benefits we can enjoy because He did. All that is left is to respond to this “cross of love.”
“Central to Jesus’ mission is His identity as our Savior. Join us today as we explore what this means and how it affects our life at Christmastime and everytime!”
The names that God gave to Jesus at His birth tell us a great deal about who He is and what He is like – join us this morning as we examine the name Immanuel, which means, of course, “God WITH us.”
