We Are One\nOne Mission\nFebruary 26, 2017\n\nPlease turn in your Bibles to Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV) \n\n\u201c\u2018Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul \nand with all your mind.\u2019 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.\n 39 And the second is like it: \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 40 All the Law \nand the Prophets hang on these two commandments.\u201d \nMatthew 22:37b-40\n\n1: Loving Me, Myself and I \n Self-love: a deep longing to diminish personal pain and increase personal happiness\n\n2: Moving From Self-Seeking to Self-Giving\n App: make your self-seeking the measure of your self-giving. \n\n3: The Engine of Love: Love God\n\n \u201cLove the Lord your God with all your heart, and with \nall your soul, and with all your mind.\u201d \nMatthew 22:37\n\n \u201cAnyone who is thirsty may come to me! 38 Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, \u2018Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.\u201d \nJohn 7: 37b-38\n\nApp: Let all of your longing be satisfied in Him.\n\nTwo Thoughts in Closing\n\n 1: What\u2019s love? (Agapeo) Charity: undefeatable benevolence; unconquerable goodwill that always seeks the highest good of the other person no matter what. It\u2019s a self-giving: freely pouring out without asking anything in return. It never measures the worth of the recipient. It\u2019s not a feeling; it\u2019s the will to love \n\n 2: Who\u2019s my neighbor? See John 3:16-21, Luke 9:11-13\n\nWhat is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
