093 - Loving People to Love God
Does God care more about how you love people or how you love him?
In Matthew 19 we find the familiar story of the rich young ruler. So often we hear it taught how we need to abandon our possessions and follow Christ or how our love for things will keep us from heaven. (Camel and a needle anybody?) But what if Jesus wasn’t saying that at all? No, what if Jesus was more concerned with how this man treated the creation more so than the creator?
This week we are talking about how to truly love God, we must first love people. We discuss what it means to put effort behind your prayer, to be present with someone despite their beliefs, and what it means to intercede. We also discuss how we so often group certain socioeconomic classes of people together instead of seeing individuals as unique creations of God.
Showing the love of Christ is so much more than preaching at someone. It is being present and giving someone a piece of yourself to exhibit an aspect of GOd’s love they could only receive through you. After all, being present is the best present you could ever give.
This week we talked about:
* Story of the rich young ruler - Matthew 19:16
* Loving God by loving your fellow man
* God’s value in loving humanity
* Showing love without preaching
* Prayer AND being present with people
* Finding God in humanity
* Understanding God’s love through unique relationships
