Loving your neighbor as yourself is hard. It takes commitment and sacrifice, but Scripture says we should “Love God with all of our heart, mind and soul, and love our neighbors as ourselves.” It's about finding your superior satisfaction in loving God first, and then having the capacity to love our neighbors as ourselves. Join Youth Pastor Roger Record as we close out our series, Love Where You Live” and we learn what it means to be a “THIRD DAY NEIGHBOR”.

Surrendering..to LOVE

Welcome to Damascus Road Community Church, located in Mount Airy, MD and serving the Baltimore/Washington DC metro area. Want to learn more about Damascus Road? Visit us at https://damascus.com. “Surrendering” to a sworn enemy is a horrible thing. It is always forced, always hated. At best, it means confinement, imprisonment, the complete curtailing of our highest capacities and hopes. At worst, it means unspeakable cruelty and death. It requires hands up in a defenseless posture of “giving up”—knowing we are sacrificing so much we love. But in the lexicon of an all-loving God, surrender is not about “giving up” anything ultimately, except our selfishly small and self-directed life. Surrender is to stop playing ‘god’, it is “giving over” ourselves in trust to the true God who wants only our best—eternally. When we respond to the God who “first loved us” in surrender the outcome is always the healing and expanding of all that is good within us. We’ll apply this to Jesus’ call in this message.

We've launched a deep dive into what Jesus said is one of the two greatest commands "on which everything else God has ever said" is hinged: His call for us to actively and intentionally practice sacrificial love toward those who live right around us or work right next to us - to LOVE WHERE WE LIVE! Imagine what might be happening in our region a year from now if we take this challenge seriously. What will happen as we begin connecting and caring about our neighbors with greater, Holy Spirit-led intentionality? Let’s imagine that...

Love Your Neighbor

Jesus said this matters most: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart…and love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-40). Truth is, loving our neighbors can seem like messy, unpredictable, time consuming and hard work. But what if Jesus really meant what He said? What if loving our neighbors is exactly what Jesus is calling us to do now? What if loving our neighbors in this season of pandemic, uncertainty, and divisiveness unleashed a wave of love, joy and peace in our hearts and our region? Maybe, for the very first time, we might even experience this deep abiding sense that we are actually doing what God has called you to do in our neighborhoods? And we will do it with hundreds of other singles and families all across our region. This weekend, Pastor Rajendra Pillai starts us off on a series on loving our neighbors because Jesus loves them so much. Join us as we launch into one of the greatest adventures this year by taking Jesus at His word and explore the hows of loving our neighbors.
