The Duties of Love - Part 2 by Pastor Omar Ellison on Sunday, April 26, 2026

In "The Duties of Love - Part 2," Pastor Omar Ellison breaks down the fundamental responsibility of every believer: the duty to know God personally. True love and forgiveness are not products of our own effort or emotions, but results of the love we receive when we intimately walk with the Creator. When we fail to love others, it is a direct indicator of a gap in our knowledge of God, for "God is love." -- It is our moral and legal obligation to know God, a duty that requires a daily personal commitment rather than a religious routine. -- True relationship with Jesus is not about following a set of steps, but about being transformed by an intimate, living connection with the King. -- Loving others is a decision made by faith, completely independent of how we feel or how we are treated by our enemies. -- Eternal life is not just a future destination in the "sweet by and by," but the present experience of knowing and experiencing the only true God. -- Our best experiences with God often happen in hard places, where His victory and healing become tangible evidence of His reality. -- Seeking God's presence must come before seeking His gifts, as everything else in our calling flows out of knowing Him.
