Vision for 2017 and Beyond

Learning how to Love God and Love our Neighbors better.

Matthew 22:36-39 - "Love God + Neighbors"

September 10, 2017 • Pastor Bruce Zachary

In Matt. 22:36-39, Jesus distilled all the commandments to their essence: love God supremely and love your neighbor as you love yourself. These are the Great Commandments. Although I did seek to love my family, friends, co-workers, and those I pastored, I neglected loving my neighbors where I lived. When I realized that I didn’t love my neighbors where I lived, let alone love them like myself, it was sobering. For it meant that not only was I rebelling against God, but if these were the greatest commandments, my neglect was the greatest sin. In the midst of a thriving but very busy ministry and life I had neglected to love my neighbors. To be a follower or disciple of Jesus you must obey His commands. Thus, we need to learn to live these values of loving God and loving our neighbors. When I chose to love neighbors who actually lived near me in obedience to Jesus, it began what has been the most enjoyable and fulfilling season of my Christian life. Today, I want to share with you how we can become better followers of Jesus.

2017 Vision pt. 3 - Love Your Neighbor Within Your Group

January 15, 2017 • Pastor Robb Oram

Acts 2:42-47 is descriptive and arguably prescriptive of how the Church is to love God and neighbors better. The early church created the rhythms (practices) of life that are needed to grow as followers of Jesus. It reveals how we can learn to love God and neighbors in our groups better. These are simple practices that produce profound transformation. Do you want to learn to love God and neighbors better?
