Follow Me: Part 3 | Pastor Jacob Sheriff

The core message is that we become like what we love most, and what we actually love is revealed not by what we say, but by what drives our daily habits, anxieties, and discretionary time. Jesus’ greatest commandment—to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself—is not primarily about fleeting emotions but about covenant loyalty and reordering our deepest desires around God. Culture constantly forms rival visions of the “good life” (comfort, security, feelings), but true discipleship means denying self as lord and letting love for God reshape our longings so that it naturally overflows into loving the specific person right in front of us.
