The People of God
August 17, 2008I Peter 1:22-2:3
Tags: 1 Peter, Jamie Rasmussen, Sunday AM, The People of GodA lot of Christians wonder what their core responsibility is as followers of Jesus. And though things like faith, trust, obedience, service and the like are all things the Scriptures talk about, what the Bible makes clear is that the HEART of our commitment to God and others is LOVE (see Matthew 22:36–39; Galatians 5:6; 1 Corinthians 13:13). Peter affirms this point with pinpoint accuracy. But how can we love others in such a way that it makes a difference? And how do we actually deliver such a tall order? This message will explore this often-heard call to love: what it is and how to do it. And we will hopefully all realize that though the Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, the Church’s single heart is to love!
