Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to discern God’s purpose for your life? Have you ever struggled to make a decision, big or small?
You aren’t alone.
The religious leaders once asked Jesus, 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40
This summer June 15-July 20 we will be studying what Jesus called the greatest.
• The Greatest Commandment Matthew 22:34-40
• The Great Compassion Matthew 25:31-46
• The Great Commission Matthew 28:16-20
We will focus on what Jesus described as most important to discern and live the will of God. You’ll hear from Emma LaBrot offering her first sermon, Chris Ferguson, and pastor Jimmy Sansom as he describes living the great compassion through the Kairos prison ministry at the Bonne Terre prison.
You will be encouraged to practice studying this scripture by writing it out long hand and memorizing the greatest words of Jesus so that they guide you wherever God takes you. We will all be invited to discuss in small groups the Greatest teachings of Jesus during our learning hour each Sunday at 10 am around tables at the Cornerstone building with reflection questions. Consider making this discussion on Sundays at 10 am a part of your summer schedule of worship.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
