Building A Strong Foundation
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self control; and to self control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. – 2 Peter 1:5-8

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
When asked what was the greatest commandment, Jesus replied with these words, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.” All of the commandments of God can be found within the realization of this one. This short summer session will explore the love of God as seen for us, in us and through us.
Realizing His love for us – exercising our love for others: Loving those who are closest to us and learning to love those who seem the furthest.
Come join us as we explore the depth, heights and widths of His love.
