Neighbor Love

October 11, 2020 • Dr. Mark Kemp

Last week we focused on the first command to love the Lord our God with all that we are. But Jesus gave a second command as well. These two commands are inseparable. If we truly love God then we will also love our neighbor as He has called us to do. The world around us needs a good dose of true neighbor love and God wants us to be the people who show it to them.

For All the Nations

November 29, 2020 • Dr. Mark Kemp

As we launch our Lottie Moon Offering for International Missions, we'll remember that God's heart is for the salvation of the lost of all nations. We who have been redeemed are His vessels to make His salvation known in our neighborhood and to the nations. The heart of the Christmas message is that Christ came as the ultimate expression of God's love for all the nations.

Look at Jesus

November 22, 2020 • Dr. Mark Kemp

Through the eyes of Scripture with the help of the Holy Spirit, we'll endeavor to behold the wonder of Jesus' suffering and sacrifice for us as it is revealed in the garden as He poured out His soul to the heavenly Father. When we count our blessings this Thanksgiving season, our Savior's loving endurance and sacrifice for us will surely top the list.

Self-Love vs. Savior-Love

November 15, 2020 • Dr. Mark Kemp

This passage presents a contrast between the kind of love that motivated Judas Iscariot and Mary of Bethany. Both acted out of love toward Jesus. One acted out of love for self and the other out of love for the Savior. The stark contrast helps us to examine our own hearts and inspires us to grow in true love for our Savior.
