“What is your #1 goal in life?”
Your answer to that question will reveal your dominant life value. Everyone has one. It’s what we unconsciously base our decisions on. God tells us that love is to be our dominant life value. In fact, Jesus once said that of all the commands in the Bible, only two are most important: Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.
Our church family has begun a seven-week focus on those two commands. With conflict, divorce, violence, prejudice, abuse, division and polarization around us daily, it’s obvious we all need some lessons in building healthy relationships, and that’s what 40 Days of Love is all about.
We’re asking every small group in our church to go through 40 Days of Love together. And if you’re not in a group, we invite you to join one so you can be a part of what will happen in our church these 40 days. The sign-up table is in the plaza Sunday mornings and will be there throughout the 40 Days for information. Stop by to find that days and times that are available to you.
We are reading The Relationship Principles of Jesus by Tom Holladay, the companion volume to the 40 Days of Love study. Even if you aren't able to be in a small group, please purchase a book and read along with us. The daily readings will be foundational to the weekend messages.
Come and be with us for these life-changing messages of how to love better, to love God and to love one another:
