The King & His Kingdom: #106 - True Love | Matthew 22:34-40

Tom Logue - June 28th 2026 The greatest command isn't about trying harder—it's about learning what real love actually is. We use the word love for everything. We love coffee, hobbies, family, success, comfort, and even God. But what if we've confused biblical love with something far smaller? What if we've mistaken good behavior for genuine devotion? Jesus was asked to identify the single greatest commandment, and His answer reaches far beyond rules or religious performance. It exposes what's happening beneath the surface of our lives and invites us to discover the kind of love that transforms not only our actions, but our hearts. This message confronts the subtle ways we settle for outward obedience while missing the deeper relationship God desires. It also reveals the breathtaking reality that before we're ever called to love God, we are first deeply, sacrificially, and completely loved by Him through Jesus. If you've ever wondered whether God truly loves you, struggled to love Him wholeheartedly, or found yourself going through the motions of faith, this message offers an invitation back to the center of it all.
