Thoughts from the pulpit (February 9)


Love, grace, and forgiveness.

John 3:16 tells us –

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.

Then in Matthew 22:23-40, Jesus responds to a question about which of the commandments is the most important.

Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Love God…

Love each other.

Love, grace, and forgiveness – God’s gifts to us.

Love, grace, and forgiveness – How we should, are called to respond to God’s gracious gift.

A life filled with love, grace, and forgiveness is the true blessing reserved for believers.

Peace and blessings – Pastor John
