SEE A NEED – FEEL A NEED – MEET THE NEED

Let love be your highest goal!  1 Corinthians 14:1a

One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.  A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”              Matthew 22:35-40

LIFE CHANGE HAPPENS IN RELATIONSHIPS

Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.   No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.   1 John 4:10,11
