Scripture Reference: 1 John 4:13-21 || Dr. Timothy J. Mathis || Sermon Series: 1 John
What are the two greatest commandments? Jesus gives a simple but powerful answer: Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul… and love your neighbor as yourself. Every commandment God gives flows from these two. When we love God first and truly love our neighbor, the rest begins to fall into place. In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer reminds us that God's commandments are not burdens — they are gifts that lead us to freedom and joy.
Start with the center and everything else comes into focus. We open with Jesus' greatest commandments—love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself—and trace how those two clear lines cut through confusion at home, at church, and in public life. When love becomes the measure, rituals lose their shine, excuses run out, and courage becomes daily work.We reflect on Proverbs 31 as a portrait of ordered love, not a hustle mantra. The wisdom points every talent and task toward God, marriage, and family, challenging both men and women to weigh ambition by the good of those entrusted to them. From there, we follow Jesus' response to the Sadducees and find hope big enough for the happiest and hardest marriages: the resurrection does not erase love; it fulfills it. If your season is lonely or broken, heaven's promise reframes the pain without pretending it away.Our path winds through the teacher who declares love greater than sacrifice, then into Jesus' question about David calling the Messiah “Lord.” Alongside Psalm 48, we talk about memory, worship, and why a city stands strong when its people keep God's justice at the center. We don't shy away from present wounds—Sri Lanka's Easter bombings, systemic abuse—and we insist that naming evil is an act of neighbor love. A Medal of Honor story reminds us what leadership looks like under fire: standing up so others can stand.Drawing on Jonathan Mayhew, we tackle the tension between honoring civil authority and obeying God. Taxes can be argued; God's commands cannot. A Christian conscience submits where it should and refuses where it must, not out of defiance but fidelity. We close in prayer because prayer keeps our hearts low and our hope high, and that's the only way to love God wholly and love neighbors well.

We continue our Lenten Series, "Tell Me Something Good," by examining one of the major tenets of Christianity: the Greatest Commandments. We do so in a unique way by examining the story of Jesus being anointed by an unnamed woman at a Pharisee's dinner party. We contrast the two main characters to learn how to love God extravagantly and to quiet the inner judgment of our hearts in order to truly love our neighbor.

This message introduces The Law of Love series by showing that the Ten Commandments were never given as a way to earn salvation, but as a gift of grace to shape a redeemed people. Beginning with God’s rescue of Israel from slavery, we see how the Law reveals God’s character, exposes our sin, and points us to our need for a Savior. Jesus fulfilled the Law perfectly on our behalf, and He summed it up in two great commands—to love God and to love others. Under the New Covenant, God writes His Law not on tablets of stone but on human hearts through the Holy Spirit, forming a people who live in true freedom, shaped by love rather than legalism.

Jesus responds to an earnest question from a scribe about the greatest commandment. With 613 commandments to choose from, Jesus teaches that the important commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Mark 12:28 A scribe asks Jesus which commandment is the greatest (foremost) Mark 12:29 – 31 Jesus answers the question Mark 12:32 & 33 The scribe agrees Mark 12:34 Jesus tells the scribe he is not far from the kingdom of God – the questions stopped Mark 12:35 – 37 Jesus asks “how can the Christ be the son of David, when David calls him “My Lord” Mark 12:38 – 40 Jesus warns of the hypocrisy of the religious leaders Mark 12:41 – 44 Jesus says a widow contributed a cent and He says that contribution was greater than the rest combined
We return back to the question 'would you rather be accepted by those in darkness or be rejected because of The Light?' It's important to remember to be authentic and live from the spirit of God even amongst a crowded room. Honor the two GREATEST COMMANDMENTS and SERVE YOUR PURPOSE! Hope you all enjoy!CollaborationWorld Of Purpose WhiteboardMiro App:https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVMqzyVG4=/?share_link_id=703476590324Purpose Served Social Media:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/purpose_servedTwitter-https://twitter.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/purpose.serv...Become a Memberhttps://www.purposeserved.com/forumPurpose Served Website:https://www.purposeserved.comEmail:servedpurpose@gmail.comEmail UsSupport the showEmail UsSupport the show

201 201 - Greatest Commandments 6-15-25 by Mike Hurtgen
Jesus fulfills all that the Law and the Prophets depend on (Matthew 22:34-40)
In this sermon, Pastor Jason emphasizes the importance of unity and love within the church, particularly in the face of diversity and differing opinions. Drawing from Romans 14 and 15, he discusses how to navigate conflicts and maintain a spirit of acceptance and understanding among believers. The message encourages listeners to prioritize the Word of God over cultural influences and to engage in ministry together, preparing for both challenges and opportunities in the church community. In this conversation, Pastor Jason emphasizes the importance of loving confrontation among Christians, highlighting that our first instinct should be to love and welcome others before pointing out their flaws. The discussion moves into the necessity of calibrating our conscience to align with God's standards, encouraging believers to engage in meaningful conversations about differences while maintaining love and acceptance. Pastor Jason stresses that the ultimate goal is to build each other up in faith, following Christ's example of love and service, and challenges listeners to love others in ways that resonate with their unique needs. 00:00 Opening Prayer and Heart for the Church 01:12 The Importance of Expositional Teaching 03:37 Preparing for Summer Ministry 05:35 Unity in Diversity: The Church's Challenge 09:53 The Influence of Culture on Christian Behavior 12:11 Adjusting Expectations in the Church 14:31 Love and Diversity of Opinion 17:51 The Greatest Commandments as Our Filter 19:12 Context of Romans: Addressing Conflict 27:28 Accepting One Another in Christ 29:24 Loving Confrontation: The Christian Approach 34:29 Calibrating Conscience: Understanding Right and Wrong 43:12 The Aim of Love: Building Each Other Up 47:01 Following Christ's Example: The Ultimate Model of Love

Relevant Verses: atthew 7, 22, 23; 1 John 4; Micah 6; Psalm 82; Luke 10 Theme: “Love and Justice: The Two Greatest Commandments” Leading Question: Is it possible to identify the two greatest sins as well as the two greatest commandments? If we make the two greatest sins parallel with the two greatest commandments, then we can say that the greatest sins would be not loving God and not loving human beings. And Jesus seems to be suggesting a way of bringing the two together: the best way to love God is to love human beings. Two of his statements in the ...
