Loving God

This past week we began a series on the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40). This first week, we focused on Loving God.

To hear the message that Katie Von Kahle gave to the high school students, you can download it here or go to iTunes and search Tom Pounder.

What does it mean to love God? How can you love him with all your heart, mind and soul?

In Luke 6:45, Christ says, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.”

Loving God starts with your heart. It starts with a passion and a desire to love him and serve him – not just because he is God, but for all that he has done for you and brought you through.

So, how is your heart towards God? Do you love him with all your heart, mind and soul? If you don’t, why not? What is preventing you from that?

This week, do a gut check. Do you love God with all your heart, mind and soul? Why or why not?

Then, pray that God would give you that passion to love him the way he deserves to be loved.
