Pursue Love

Pursue love. (1 Corinthians 14:1)

This concept is so vitally important - so urgent in our community and in our world that we are spending these 40 days really learning to love.

This week we look at the theme: Loving as Jesus Loved. What does it mean to love God the way Jesus loved God. What does it mean to love your neighbor the way Jesus loves? These are two very important questions for everyone of us.

As Jesus did, I believe it means we need to set aside time for worship, prayer, conversation with our "father in heaven." We need to be in relationship with God. From the heart, not just in our heads. Knowing Jesus means more than knowing about Jesus.

As Jesus did, I believe it means we need to listen to our neighbors, care for our neighbors, share the joys and the sorrows of our neighbors. If we really want to have better more fulfilling, life changing relationships we must love them - spend time with them, meet their needs, touch their lives with our lives.

To your better relationships pursue love!

Pastor David
