Kay Ellison shares a message about how small acts of love toward her mother, her neighbor, and strangers brought unexpected joy and connection, showing that loving others also nurtures ourselves.

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.

Message from Dave Mbako on May 11, 2025

There’s a new game in high school sports, and it’s one of the most uplifting experiences you’ll ever see. It has many of the same elements of the game known for cheering fans, referees, and a scoreboard. But there’s an essential twist: Each five-person team on the court consists of two nondisabled players and three players who have some form of disability. The activity on the court is heart-warming as players assist, encourage, and cheer for each other—no matter what team they’re on. The game is all about lifting up students who wouldn’t otherwise experience the joy of competitive sports. It takes deliberate, wise leadership for schools to honor students in this way. And their efforts reflect an example set for us in Scripture by King David. A common saying in David’s day was that “the ‘blind and lame’ will not enter the palace” (2 Samuel 5:8)—used metaphorically in reference to his enemies. David, however, did choose to take Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth, who had two lame feet, into his palace and honor him with a place to “eat at [his] table” (9:7). Paul presents a clear guideline for how we’re to treat others. “Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other” (Romans 12:10 nlt). Let’s practice unified life—making sure to honor, in Jesus’ love, everyone we encounter.

Jesus calls us, his followers, to come together, live together, and serve together in church community. In one of his most famous prayers shortly before his crucifixion, Jesus prayed that we who follow him down through the ages would live, work, and serve together in unity "as one." The early Christians did that with amazing success. This Sunday we'll study a passage of Scripture that gives us insight into how they did it -- and how we today can apply those lessons to build a diverse, safe, and inclusive church community together.

The people of Le Chambon, France risked everything to help save the lives of as many as 5,000 individuals, many of them Jewish children, during the Nazi occupation. The refugees fleeing their homes were hidden in the community’s homes and farms. The townspeople were inspired by pastor André Trocmé, who called on his congregation to help by referencing the words of Deuteronomy 10:19, “You are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.” This command given to the Israelites comes in a passage that begins with the reminder that the whole earth belongs to God, who is “mighty and awesome” (v. 17). Yet God chose to love the Israelites (v. 15). He also cares for people in vulnerable or unfamiliar situations (v. 18), including foreigners who weren’t part of the nation of Israel. As the Israelites settled in their new home, they were to imitate God’s love and care for those needing help, especially because they knew the unique struggles of being a foreigner (v. 19). If we’ve been at a job a long time or lived in the same home for several years, God may give us the opportunity to show kindness to someone who feels like a “foreigner,” perhaps by providing helpful advice to a new coworker or assistance to a recently relocated family. When we do, we demonstrate God’s love to those in unfamiliar, and often vulnerable, situations.

A teaching given at Mom's Connection by Allison Stump

When you gather on Sunday, do you go in thinking about someone else, ready to love, serve, and care? Or was your mind still on yourself? This week, Francis Chan pushes us to rethink love—not as a feeling, but as action. Real love is messy. It's sacrificial. It's the kind that makes you weep for the broken and move toward those in need. Because love isn't just something we receive—it's something we live.

Do you ever feel guilty, even after asking God for forgiveness? Today, discover how God's love and mercy sets you free from guilt and condemnation once and for all.
