Matthew 22:34-40
1 Loving God, Loving People

This first sermon of the series reminds us that the Christian life can be summarized in by this simple statement: love God whole-heartedly and love people as yourself. 

Here are ways you can know that you are loving God whole-heartedly:

  • You're leaning more about God
  • You find yourself wanting to obey God
  • You're digging into deeper theology
  • You're not waiting for others to feed you
  • Your worship is more than singing
  • Your prayer is more than words

Here are some ways you can know you're growing in loving people and yourself:

  • You're growing in grace
  • You're growing as a person
  • You'r less worred aobut personal preferences and more concerned about unity
  • You're willing to speak the truth in love
  • You're engaged in community
