Podcasts about Great Commandment

The Great Commandment calls us to two theological imperatives: to love God, and to love others. The Scriptures are littered with these imperatives to love others. Loving others is foundational to who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. So the question remains: Do we truly love other people? --- Jesus summed up two things our lives should reflect: loving Him, and loving others. He wrapped all of the Jewish laws into one overarching statement found in the Great Commandment. Today, we will see that a life on mission is a life well lived, and it is fulfilled by loving others.

Luke 10 calls us to embody the Great Commandment—to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves. This message challenges us to sacrificially love others like the Good Samaritan, reminding us that true spiritual health only comes from a relationship with Jesus.

By Raymond Clore - Show that all can be agents for positive change. A guiding principle for our life should be self sacrifice and service towards others

Today Jon takes a unique look at the Great Commandment, found in Matthew 22, and challenges our listeners to get curious about their neighbor.  After all, how can we love people if we do not seek to know them better?

Living a life on mission starts by loving God. This past Sunday, we examined Jesus' summation of all the Old Testament laws in Matthew 22:34-40 in the Great Commandment. The Law can be surmised in two ways: Love God, and love people. In this episode of the Beyond Sunday Podcast join David Tooley, Lauren Parish, TJ Renfro, and Alex Watkins as they discuss what their personal devotional times with the Lord look like and why it's hard to share the gospel with others. --- This episode of The Beyond Sunday Podcast expands upon the sermon “A Life on Mission: Loving God | Matthew 22:34-40 ” In this two-part sermon series, we'll learn that a life on mission is a life well lived.  Submit a question: bit.ly/BeyondSundayQuestions

Nicholas Von Zinzendorf famously stated, “Preach the gospel, die, and be forgotten.” As we become older, we begin to think about the way that we want our lives to be remembered. What do we want people to say about us when we are gone?    ---   Jesus summed up two things our lives should reflect: loving Him, and loving others. He wrapped all of the Jewish laws into one overarching statement found in the Great Commandment. Today, we will see that a life on mission is a life well lived, and it starts with a love for Christ.   Sermon Notes: http://bible.com/events/49428070 Submit a Question: bit.ly/BeyondSundayQuestions

What does it truly mean to love your neighbor as yourself? In this sermon based on Luke 10:1-37, Pastor Chris Rieber examines Jesus' powerful parable of the Good Samaritan. Discover the urgency behind the second Great Commandment and why, as Christians, we cannot pick and choose who receives our love and compassion. Pastor Rieber emphasizes that loving everyone as an image-bearer of God, regardless of differences or prejudice, is the mark of a true believer. Learn how Jesus' final instruction in the passage – "Go and do the same" – calls us to a love that is active, sacrificial, and extends even when inconvenient.

1 Corinthians 13:13 Three things will last forever-faith, hope, and love-and the GREATEST of these is LOVE.

People of this world get enamored with the rich, powerful, and celebrity.  Often these people are preferred and pedestaled.  Even as Christians, it can be easy to fall into playing favorites with those who carry a high social standing in this world. James warns us in this passage that doers of the word don't live like this.  Marked by gospel shaped hearts, and motivated by Great Commandment love, genuine doers of the word shun a life of partiality and favoritism, and seek to love the hearts of people regardless of external appearance and socio-economic status.  To cut it straight: Genuine Christians don't play favorites. 

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRITContact with death, or even going into a tent where a dead body was, made the Israelite unclean under the Law. The remedy was for water of separation made from the ashes of a red heifer that was offered as a sin offering (Numbers 19)The red heifer was led “forth without the camp”. This pointed forward to Christ (Heb 13:12) who also suffered without the camp and so in Hebrews we are exhorted to go therefore unto him without the camp bearing his reproach. Just as the ashes of the heifer were for the purification of both Jew and gentile – stranger (v10) – the blood of Christ can cover the sins of any. There was no intrinsic virtue in the ashes. It required faith to believe in their efficacy – just like the blood of Jesus.Romans 6:23 states•The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God s eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.This was because the Lord Jesus had the opposite effect to the Law. He touched dead bodies and they came alive and was thus far superior to the water of separation (purification) made from the ashes of the Red Heifer•Heb 9:12-14 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?Rather than offering sacrifices, the Lord Jesus taught that the Law was fulfilled in love for others. Love God was the first Great Commandment and•Matt 22:38-40 the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.The Law of Moses was basically honouring God and loving your neighbour and it had been superseded by the Law of Christ.•Those who are led by Spirit are not under the Law( Galatians 5:18)Being led by the Spirit, means believing and practising the commandments of the Lord Jesus, and producing the fruit of the spirit, which is love, joy , peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control and Paul states these are far better than the law. Our Love needs to be like God's perfect love, an unselfish (agape) love.. Agape love is where you are prepared to unselfishly be like the Lord Jesus and give up all for the God you love and His servants, just as God gave His Son for us.1 Corinthians 13:4-8 states that someone showing this kind of love is long suffering, kind, doesn't envy, doesn't brag, or behave badly. They aren't partial nor easily annoyed. With no evil thoughts and hating sin, they are truthful, patient, hopeful and good under pressure.And we can aim to be that kind of person, if we develop the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, striving to have the type of love which God has for us and which we see in His daily care for us and by His gift of His only Son.Paul says•Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:16 .

In this podcast interview, host Dr. Matt Davis and Dr. Charles Plummer, Maranatha's Human Resources director, discover they share common experiences of bagging groceries and playing trombone, albeit their trombone explorations ended differently. Trombone performance and music were Dr. Plummer's profession and passion. With a doctorate in musical arts in pedagogy and literature, he taught, played professionally, composed, and arranged music. Likewise, music was the reason he joined the U.S. Army as an older-than-average recruit—so much older, in fact, that he was called “Private Grandpa.” Drs. Davis and Plummer discuss music's message and how it moves us; how the Lord opens and closes “doors,” which He did for Dr. Plummer through an injury that ultimately landed him in human resources and then at MBU; and how he now applies his “Great Commandment” mission in his new position.

Mark 12: 28-34 We'll do 'Love God' and Love Neighbor passage! To understand the breadth of this command - over and above offerings, worship and sacrifice ... is the goal. It's easier to love God than love people in the way God requires. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, March 23, 2025

The A-Life is a life of continuous discipleship. A disciple is anyone learning to follow Jesus. As you follow Jesus, you grow to become more like Him. You can't live abundantly if you're not taking your next steps as a disciple. The purpose of the Church and all believers is to be disciples who make disciples. It's called the Great Commission. Discipleship in the Great Commission involves two things: Reaching: Sharing the gospel through evangelism. Teaching: Helping people learn to follow Jesus through discipleship. We're all called to reach people before we can teach people. You cannot fulfill the Great Commission if you're not serious about reaching and teaching. The nature of discipleship is giving away what you have already received. Discipleship is not about knowledge. It's about obedience. You teach what you know, but discipleship is not the transfer of knowledge, it's the transfer of maturity. The mark of a mature disciple is a life lived for the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. When you love God, you love what He values. God will use any church and any person to reach the world that is greatly committed to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. You know the will of God for your life through God's Word which is written for you. Discipleship is learning to say “yes” to the Good Shepherd. You grow to spiritual maturity as a disciple when you learn to value what God values. Ready to grow as a disciple? Join Pastor Phil as he continues our series on the A-Life Discipleship Journey.

Daily Dose of Hope February 19, 2025 Day 4 of Week 47   Scripture:  Zechariah 2-5; Psalm 93; 1 John 3   Hello everyone.  Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Bible reading plan.   For our Old Testament reading, we are in the book of Zechariah.  If you recall from yesterday, Zechariah is having dreams/visions.  We read about the first two yesterday.  Today, we read through five more.  Keep in mind, these may seem strange (and they are) but they are filled with tremendous symbolism.    The first vision we read about today in chapter two depicts a man measuring Jerusalem.  It's an image of the promise that Jerusalem will be rebuild and be a light to the nations. The second one we read about concerns Joshua, the high priest, symbolically wearing Israel's sin by wearing filthy clothes.  But then he is given clean clothes and a promise that if he remains obedient, he will lead the people.   The third vision from today involves two trees which represent the two chosen leaders for Jerusalem – Joshua and Zerubbabel, who is in charge of rebuilding the Temple.  God says that success will only come if they depend on the Spirit of God.  That is followed by a vision of a flying scroll, which flies around the New Jerusalem punishing thieves and liars.  This is intended to be a pure place, based on God's Word.  Finally, we read about the woman in a basket, symbolizing wickedness and centuries of disobedience on the part of the Jewish people. She is carried off to Babylon by women with stork wings.  Odd, I know.  Let's hope we get more information and context tomorrow.  That kind of makes me want to head over to the New Testament.   Our New Testament reading is I John 3.  This chapter is about recognizing that we are children of God so that we must live accordingly. How do children of God behave? Well, first and foremost, they are motivated by love. The world may hate but we love, even when it's hard and even when it's uncomfortable.   I want us to pay close attention to 1 John 3:16. Take a moment and read it again. Notice how similar itis to John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  But in I John 3:16, John takes it one step further for the believer. Yes, Jesus died for us. Yes, if we believe in him then we have eternal life. But one more thing–because of all that, we must love our brothers and sisters so much that we sacrifice for them. This has echoes of the Great Commandment as well in Matthew 22:37-40. Love of God and love of neighbor cannot be separated. How we try over and over again to separate our faith in Jesus from how we treat others. They are intricately linked.   How does this Scripture affect how you do life?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Jesus told different audiences about the greatest commandment: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourself. But he also gave another great commandment just for the church. Pastor Luke teaches from John 13:12-17,33-36 in "The Other Great Commandment," part 5 of his 6-part series, "You Are...."

The Great Commandment 2/9/25 by Peter Warren

What if the key to everything—your struggles, your purpose, your faith—came down to just two things? Jesus was asked, “What is the greatest commandment?” His answer? Love God. Love others. But what does that really mean, and how does it transform our daily lives? In this message, we break down the Great Commandment in a way you've never seen before—with a coat rack, some unexpected struggles, and a powerful reminder of how to refocus our hearts. If you've ever felt the tension between your faith and your failures, this message is for you. Watch now and discover how to live out the Greatest Commandment in a real and practical way! Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more messages that help you live, love, and lead like Jesus!

Week 1 | Our Purpose Our series begins by exploring two pivotal commands from Jesus, which beautifully illuminate the core priorities of the church. The first, known as “The Great Commandment,” was shared with his disciples before his crucifixion and offers a window into what God values most in our lives. The second, “The Great Commission,” was given after his resurrection gives us a clear direction and purpose for any church. Brought together, these two commands help us create a powerful and concise mission statement for all of God's people. SERIES DESCRIPTION: We live in a culture where what's new is what's best. We like the updates, we like the shiny, we like the brand new. We like the smell of the new car, the peel of the wrapper off the package, of knowing that what we have is the latest and the greatest. To be sure we love the new, but what if the old was actually always the best. For that matter what if the old is actually only what renews, revives, and refreshes. That to be renewed requires going back to what has always worked. In second Corinthians chapter 3 the apostle Paul says these very important words: And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. He's referencing Moses. Moses, who stood on the mountain top and talked directly to God. Moses, whose face shone when he came down and back to his people. Moses, whose life was never the same after he had met with the Lord on high. What if the pathway for our transformation, lay in the same direction. What if what has always worked works for us too. What if our renewal as a church lay in our beholding the Lord! Join us for a series where, as a church, we seek fix our eyes upon the Lord, and we seek to behold his glory and hearing from him directly what the priorities of our church should be. But get ready, because these priorities are nothing new, but they are every bit as transformative as they have always been! Join us as we behold and renew!

January 26th, 2025. Third Sunday after the Epiphany. Michael Distefano preaches on Matthew 22:33–36. The post The Great Commandment appeared first on Christ Church of Austin.

Friends, I need to ask for special prayer today before we look at Luke 9. This morning, I will be driving to Roanoke to meet my daughter Kimberly and my grandson Luke. Then early Sunday morning we will be driving to Boston Massachusetts for an appointment early Monday morning with a doctor at the Boston Children's Hospital, who is a leading specialist in the world on the condition that Luke has with his brain.   This appointment and the insurance approval are both wonderful miracles. The hand of God's divine providence is so obvious in every aspect of this consultation visit. Please pray for traveling mercies for us, and wisdom for the doctor and his staff as they examine Luke, look at his x-rays and medical records, and make possible recommendations for future treatment.   We can't thank you enough for your prayers over the past several years for Luke. I'm convinced that it is only because of your prayers and God's grace that Luke is still with us today and making such great progress! We truly appreciate you and can't say it enough: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!   During this time, I will attempt to continue to post the devotionals by Oswald Chambers, Henry Blackaby, Dr. Elmer Towns, and the daily Psalms reading video to social media. I hope to be back in my home office here in Sneads Ferry, NC on Wednesday morning to continue our study through the Gospel of Luke! Thank you for both your patience and your prayers!   In Luke 9, Jesus is training and preparing His twelve disciples for the time He will be gone to heaven, and they will be left to fulfilled His Great Commission by sharing God's love and the Gospel message with the whole world! We have said it often, but it bears repeating, “We can minister to the multitudes as Jesus did, but we can only disciple a few”. To personally be a disciple is not an easy road to go down. Jesus promised us trials and tribulations (John 16:33). But our main task as a disciple of Jesus Christ, according to the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, is to disciple others. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.”   But it can be very discouraging and disappointing when you have spent years discipling and pouring your life into some followers of Jesus, and then you find them without the power of the Holy Spirit to bear fruit, expressing jealousy and envy, arguing with one another, and generally lacking love for the people they have been called to reach and serve. That is what Jesus is experiencing in this passage.   In this chapter, not only have the disciples of Jesus expressed lack of love for the hungry multitudes (“send them away” v. 12), for one another (vv. 46-48), they also showed a lack of love for believers outside their own group (Luke 9:49-50). We should be very careful not to be critical of other believers and ministries that don't believe exactly like us, or do ministry a “different way” (see Romans 14:1-13).  Believers who think that their group is the only group God recognizes and blesses are in for a shock when they get to heaven.   We should never forget that our zeal to fulfill the “Great Commission” is not a substitute for neglecting the “Great Commandment”, which is to both love God and our neighbor! (see Romans 13:8-10). The gifts of the Spirit without the fruit of Spirit profits nothing as far as the Lord is concerned (1 Corinthians 13:1-3).   The first fruit of the Spirit is love (Galatians 5:22). We might have great faith and hope, but the greatest witness of the presence and power of Jesus in our lives, is expressing His love to others! (1 Corinthians 13:13). In John 13:35 Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."   How is your love for Jesus and others today?   God bless!

The Old Testament Law of “an eye for an eye” Was Reversed by Jesus in His “Great Commandment” in which Jesus Followers Are “to Love” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus turned the prior teachings of the Law on their heels by commanding that personal relationships be based on “Love” not “Law and Justice”. Prior to the New Covenant of Jesus the Christ, the Jewish Law included "an eye for an eye . . .". Jesus, in Matthew 5:38-39, provides the cornerstone of His Greatest Commandment – “love thy neighbor as thy self” when He tells us: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”. The Old Testament Law was for the Judges to help the courts punish people in an appropriate and consistent way. God's Grace provided us with the means, if we so choose, for the forgiveness of our sins and for our Salvation and Eternal Life when our eternal death was the “Law and Justice” outcome of our sins.  God's Grace sets the model for us to live a life of “Love” – “Love” God's way.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

2024:  November 24Have you ever wanted to ask God a question?Have you ever wondered what God would have you do?

Jesus is asked about the greatest commandment and then responds by asking the religious leaders to identify more clearly the Messiah. Here is the sermon outline: David's Great Son (v 41-46) The Great Commandment (v 34-40) You can watch this message here.

Jesus wasn't the first Jewish rabbi to codify a "golden rule" or to emphasize the Great Commandment(s) to "Love God and love your neighbor." Jesus was - and is - however, the one to make the ethic of love normative for we who call ourselves Christian, for love is the only thing that can "tikkun olam." From the Hebrew: Love is the only thing that can "heal the world." Politics will not heal the world. Your voting card will not heal the world. The United States of America will not heal the world. There are rooted in power, and as followers of Jesus, our calling is not to seize the steering wheel - to get our own way. Our calling is to practice is joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control - orbiting around this nucleus of love for God and love for neighbor.

The two Great Commandments show us our path through this life, and at the same time reveal just how far we have to go to arrive at the Kingdom of God. (Lectionary - Year B, #152) November 02, 2024 - Cathedral of Christ the King - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
