"All You Need Is Love"
13th Sunday after Pentecost
September 7, 2014
Our focus scripture this Sunday comes from Paul's Letter to the Romans. (You can read it here.) Paul reminds the Christian community in Rome that all the teachings and commandments can be distilled down to one word - LOVE. You must love your neighbor as yourself. If you do that, says Paul, then you've fulfilled the requirements of your faith.
In the words of Lennon and McCartney, "All you need is love; love is all you need."
The Christian life is all about love, but loving our neighbor as ourselves often doesn't come naturally or easily. So, how do we begin living with love at the center of all we say and do? How do we learn to obey the commandment that sums up all others - the commandment to love? Perhaps the place to begin is with three Ps: prayer, practice, and praxis. Join us this week as we unpack what that might mean.
See you on Sunday!
