Love

from Grace 242 · host Bill Ver Velde

Title: Love Scripture Reading: Matthew 22:35-40, Matthew 7:17-20, Matthew 7:13-14 Series: The “L” Fruits of Jesus When observing the lavish lifestyle of a televangelist, it’s easy to question the "fruit" of their ministry. Jesus Himself said we would identify people by their fruit. So, what fruit should we expect to see in the life of a disciple? This sermon kicks off a new series, "The 'L' Fruits of Jesus," by focusing on the most foundational fruit: Love. We explore the two critical axes of Christian love. The vertical axis is loving God, which is demonstrated not just by hearing His word, but by our obedience to it. The horizontal axis is loving others, which requires traveling the "narrow road." This difficult path specifically challenges us to love our enemies and to speak the truth in love , even when the world redefines what "truth" and "love" mean.
