Jesus teaches that the greatest commandments are about love of God and one another. (Lectionary #423) August 22, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

What's the purpose of my life? Pastor Jeanette explores Scripture and life stages to answer one of humanity's biggest questions. Drawing on Jesus' Great Commandment, Jeremiah's promise to exiles, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism, she proposes a clear, hope-filled purpose: We are made to glorify God by knowing Him, becoming like Christ, loving people, and joining His mission.

Dr. Roger L. Smith discusses neglecting responsibility, illustrated by a restaurant scenario where employees ignored a mess. He connects this to the biblical figure Eli, a priest who neglected his duties and enabled his sons' corruption, leading to dire consequences. Dr. Smith emphasizes that responsibilities to God and neighbor are fundamental, citing the Great Commandments and the Ten Commandments. He argues neglecting these responsibilities, both through actions and omissions, is a sin with far-reaching effects. Dr. Smith urges listeners to accept responsibility, love God and neighbor, and hold others accountable with grace and truth, breaking cycles of neglect and passing on faith to future generations.

Jesus told us that the greatest commandment was to Love God and love others. In fact He said that every commandment in the Scriptures is based on these two commands. Loving God is listening to God and when we listen to God we can love others well. Pastor Rick taught The Great Commandment at CrossPoint Church.

In this podcast, Anthony Delaney discusses the importance of discipleship, evangelism, and pastoral care in today's broken world.

He highlights the significance of seeing people as individuals, taking initiative in caregiving, and being vulnerable in our interactions. Ultimately, he calls listeners to respond to God's care by actively caring for others in their communities.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Pastoral Care and Discipleship 04:39 Understanding Aloneness and the Role of Caregivers 09:13 The Good Samaritan: A Model for Caregiving 13:48 Initiative in Care: Moving First to Help 18:43 Vulnerability in Care: Sharing Our Own Pain 23:11 The Power of God's Care in Our Lives 28:03 Conclusion: Living Out Care in Community

"The greatest tragedy in life is when we stop talking to God."But what's the second greatest tragedy?In this episode, Brad Bright explores the deep connection between the Great Commandment and the Great Commission—highlighting how failing to talk to our neighbor shuts the door on gospel transformation. From Jesus' radical choice of disciples like Simon the Zealot and Matthew the tax collector, to hot-button cultural debates on sexuality, politics, and truth, this episode challenges you to engage in real conversations with love, without compromising truth.“Never compromise LOVE.

Pastor Dave preaches the second half of the Great Commandment from Matthew 22:39-40. True treasure isn't always material—it can be chipped ashtrays or crude crafts kept for love of the maker. Likewise, every person bears God's signature and is valuable because he created them. Love for others is inseparable from love for God, even when people are hard to like. Agape love goes beyond feelings; it's a self-sacrificial choice to lay down self and love as Christ loves us. Scripture commands this love because it reflects God's heart and overflows from a life transformed by grace. Choosing to love, forgive, and bless others—especially when it's hard—brings freedom and deeper communion with God. Who are you being called to love today, not out of convenience, but in joyful obedience to the one who loves perfectly?

In this episode of the LAUNCH podcast, Anthony Delaney discusses the importance of high-impact church leadership and the need for pastoral care in today's world. He draws on the parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate the significance of compassionate action and the barriers that often prevent individuals from caring for others. Delaney emphasizes that true caregiving is rooted in love and self-sacrifice, encouraging listeners to overcome their hesitations and actively engage in helping those in need.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Future Church Podcast 01:23 Creating a Community of Leaders 02:40 Understanding Deep Needs in Society 04:24 The Importance of Pastoral Care 05:47 The Coldness of Love in Today's World 10:12 The Good Samaritan: A Model for Care 19:39 Overcoming Barriers to Caring 22:20 Practical Steps to Care for Others 24:24 Conclusion and Call to Action

This week, Pastor Dave Winters preaches from Matthew 22:35-38—the first half of "The Great Commandment". Love is often used casually, but Scripture calls us to its highest form—agape, the unconditional, self-giving love God shows humanity. The greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind—a love that is personal, exclusive, and rooted in gratitude, not guilt or ritual. It's not about approaching God transactionally or through checklist spirituality, but embracing him as my God, centering life and worship on him daily. This means being with God, not just doing for him—knowing his love personally and responding with an authentic, all-consuming love. We nurture this through prayer, confession, Sabbath rhythms, and natural conversation about him. If this is the foremost command, the question is: how are we loving him today—uniquely and fully?

The Great Commandment calls us to love God and love others, but Jesus adds a crucial modifier: “as you love yourself,” revealing that we can't truly love others until we first see and love ourselves as God does. This message emphasizes a divine order—loving God first, which then shapes our identity and enables genuine love for others. When we secure our spiritual “oxygen mask” through a relationship with God, we gain the clarity and strength to love both ourselves and those around us well.

This morning Pastor Ryan continues our series in Matthew with his sermon, "The Great Commandments."

In this energizing and heartfelt message, Rev. Terry Robinson challenges us to live the Christian life in 3D—through the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Great Concern. With warmth, humor, and biblical clarity, Pastor Terry paints a vision of faith that is not flat or theoretical but vibrant, relational, and transformative. Drawing from Jesus' call to love God and neighbor, to make disciples, and to serve the least among us, he reminds us that real faith is not about $3 worth of God—it's about full surrender. Whether through mentoring, sharing the gospel, or caring for the marginalized, we're invited to let Christ transform our lives and overflow into the lives of others. Living in 3D means allowing God to touch every dimension of who we are and how we serve.

Most of us can easily recite the Great Commandment. But not one of us has ever loved God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Today, R.C. Sproul underlines the seriousness of what God's law demands of us.

Sunday Morning Sermon 05-04-2025

Send us a textWhat does it mean to truly love God with everything you have? Dr. Scott Martin tackles this fundamental question as he shares his remarkable life journey from an orphaned boy in inner-city Phoenix to a missionary spanning four decades across the world.Scott's story begins in adversity – losing his mother at age eight, never knowing his biological father, and living with his grandmother in challenging circumstances. Yet through the love of a church family who eventually adopted him, Scott discovered his purpose in Christ. This transformation set him on a path that would lead him to minister on university campuses, plant churches in Central Asia, lead national campus ministries, and now embark on a new mission to Iceland in what he calls the "fourth quarter" of his ministry life.At the heart of Scott's message are what he terms "the two greats" – the Great Commandment to love God completely and love others sacrificially, and the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. He emphasizes that the primary verb in the Great Commission isn't "go" but "make disciples" – a crucial distinction that shapes how we understand our mission as believers. Through powerful stories from his work in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, Scott demonstrates how God orchestrates divine appointments when we follow His leading.Perhaps most compelling is Scott's account of his calling to Iceland – a nation that has never experienced a Christian awakening in its 1100+ year history, where 99.8% of college-age citizens don't believe in God. Through multiple prophetic confirmations, including discovering that a key Icelandic couple they're meant to disciple were former students in their ministry, Scott and his wife Crystal have witnessed God's supernatural preparation for this new chapter.Are you living as a person of purpose, destiny, and vision? Scott challenges us to evaluate how completely we love God and how willing we are to follow wherever He leads – because our obedience today could be the divine appointment someone else needs to find their eternal destiny.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

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.

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.

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.
