For those of you who are lazy and who do not want to scroll down then I will quickly get you up to speed….
Our theme is Organic in ‘09 — so open up your Bible and turn to Matthew 22.35-40
READ IT THROUGH!!!!!
So here is where we are right now:
1. LOVE GOD — v. 37,38
2. LOVE OTHERS — v.39
3. LOVE YOURSELF — v. 37-39 (how can you love anything if you barely love yourself?)
and here is the real kicker for me!!! I would suggest underlining it:
40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” NIV
40These two commandments[a]sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets.” AMP
These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.” v.40 MSG
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” NKJV
40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” NLT
So…. moving right along… I want to start a string of discussions centered around these 3 points.
Here is the first conversation that I would like to have, and we will facilitate a face to face discussion this Friday January 23, 2009 at 930 pm at People’s Church Edmonton (15641-96 Ave) for any and all Young Adults who are interested….
Ok…. so I’m hoping that you all wouldn’t mind rolling up your sleeves and dive into your Bible’s … basically here is what I’m looking for …
CREATE YOUR OWN DEFINITION FOR “LOVING GOD” by SEARCHING YOUR BIBLE… PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR DEFINITION WITH A MINIMUM of 3 Verses or portions of SCRIPTURE!!!!
WE WILL DISCUSS OUR FINDINGS ON FRIDAY!!! SEE YOU THEN!!!
peace.hope.love//pastorbrett
