We’ve finished our two-week series “Love God; Love Others” with a challenge to our students to make their love for God part of every area of their lives. Our conversation centered around Luke 10:25-28, which reveals that God’s greatest commandment is for us to love him with our heart, soul, strength, and mind.
during our worship time we stepped off with this video from our pal louie giglio. loved the response…one student stood up and shouted…”that’s crazy!” great lead in to our worship set…how great is our God…blessings and new one by kristen stamfil – who you are.
Learning to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength is a lifelong commitment. We encouraged our students to consider the benefits and rewards of obediently loving God and pursuing lives that put love into action. Our love for God ought to connect to every area of life-it isn’t just a “church” thing or a “spiritual” part of life.
here’s some questions to ponder in the week to come based on our study.
How much of our experience as followers of Jesus do you think is based on our feelings, and how much of it is based on our willingness to act or serve or obey even when we don’t feel like it?
What do you think it means to develop a lifestyle of loving God? What would that look like if you pursued that path?
What are some changes you might see in your life as you love God more and more?
I pray that you and your family have an awesome week!
