Pastor Chris addresses our present societal division and dismay with a message on compassion and action. The Apostle John was eager to remind us all of the kind of love that comes from God. He uses this faith fact as a springboard to challenge us to practice righteousness \\u2013 not for ourselves, but for others. Loving our brother is essential to knowing God\\u2019s love.\\xa0

Chris orients us to this life theme: what is Jesus\\u2019 kind of love? In Luke 10, His response to a lawyer seeking to know how to inherit eternal life includes the command to \\u201clove your neighbor as yourself.\\u201d We can only truly know the love of God by following the way of God, loving our neighbor. In another teaching, Jesus share the parable of the Good Samaritan. Chris explains that we must act in love, not only in our hearts, but with our hands, money, and time.\\xa0
