Loving God and Neighbors: Revisiting the Commandments with Fresh Eyes | Matthew 22:34-40

Real Life Community Church Sermons

Experience a deep-dive into the essence of the greatest commandment with Pastor Chris May from Real Life Community Church. This episode is packed with enriching discussions about loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind. We're going to strip this commandment down from an abstract concept to a real, concrete action that you can incorporate into your daily life.
But our journey doesn't end with loving God. We'll also explore the often overlooked commandment of loving our neighbor. There's a common misconception that this act of love can replace the laws in the Old Testament, but we're here to challenge that thought. Join us as we emphasize the critical interconnection between love and law, and answer the tricky question: are we bound to follow all 613 commandments in the Bible?
As we steer towards the end of our exploration, we'll place a spotlight on the law of Christ and its connection to our hearts. We might struggle to keep this law flawlessly, but through Jesus, we can draw near to God and experience a transformative change in our hearts. Through this episode, we hope to highlight the power of Jesus' sacrifice, inviting you to daily rely on the cross and make Jesus the center of your life. If you find yourself entangled in habitual sin or striving to earn your way to God through personal efforts, we invite you to turn to Jesus in repentance. We're on this journey together, traversing the realms of love, law, and grace. Join us!
