To love the lost, we have to start by caring for their plight. The hard part, though, is moving beyond emotion to proper action. Join us today as we explore how to love those far from God in heart, word, AND deed.
To Know Him and Make Him Known
Love: The First & Final Word
Lost people matter to God. He is actively seeking to save them, and He calls us to join Him in His efforts. We can get involved by caring about their plight, sharing the good news with them, and throwing a party when they come home.
It’s easy to slide into a state of spiritual slumber when it comes to how important or how urgent it is to heed God’s call to love. Join us as we explore Paul’s wake-up call to the Romans and seize the opportunity to live (and love) as though God’s Kingdom has already arrived!
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.
Loving God is only the beginning of our journey towards love. God calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves, giving of ourselves to meet the needs of anyone who crosses our path. We do this ultimately because we want to show Jesus how much we love HIM.
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!
