"What is your #1 goal in life?"
Your answer to that question will reveal your dominant life value. Everyone has one. It's what we unconsciously base our decisions on. God tells us that our dominant life value is to be love. In fact, Jesus once said that of all the commands in the Bible only two are most important. Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.
Our church family is in a six-week focus on those two commands. We are coming together for 40 Days of Love. With conflict, divorce, violence, prejudice, abuse, division, and polarization around us daily, it's obvious we all need some lessons in building healthy relationships, and that's what 40 Days of Love is all about.
We are asking every small group in our church to go through 40 Days of Love together. And if you're not in a group, join one or start one yourself so that you can be a part of what will happen in our church these forty days. We know that this study of what the Bible says about love will bring a revival of love to our relationships! We were made for relationships. The more we learn how to love authentically, the more like Jesus we become.
What is 40 Days of Love?
40 Days of Love is a completely new church-wide, six-week personal growth emphasis featuring a group-based DVD study; daily devotional readings from the book, The Relationship Principles of Jesus, by Pastor Tom Holladay (Optional); and an accompanying series of weekend messages. In addition, to help us grow together we will study the same meditation verse daily. And, because a primary goal of 40 Days of Love is to put what we learn into action, groups will also choose a practical "Reaching Out in Love" project to do together.
