The Gospel of John - A New Command

Why do 4 letter words have such power, and yet bring such confusion? I remember a time in my marriage that I believed I was “Help” my wife, only to realize what I meant by “Help” was not the same way she was defining “Help”. I had to learn what this 4-letter word meant for her and learn how to live in that with her. Love is another 4-letter word that has the same impact. I can say I “Love” someone, and yet by my actions they may not believe it. In any given moment, how I define “Love” may change because of what I want or how I want it to look. Culture tries to define “Love” for us through movies, music, books, and other means. No wonder why so many people get confused and hurt. The truth is, we always have to come back to the Bible to know what “Love” really is and what it looks like to live it out. The interesting part about this particular word is not only does Jesus define it, but He adds it is a command. By being a command, this isn’t about how I feel, or I get to choose if I do it or not. No, we are to love. We must love. This Sunday we’ll learn more about what this means and looks like. We hope you’ll join us as we continue to do this life together and learn together what it means to truly love, why we love, and how we are to love. We’re grateful for each and every one of you!
