What does God actually want from us? When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment, His answer reframed everything - not rules, not performance, but love. In this message, guest speaker Brad Stroup invites us to reset our priorities and rediscover why we were created: to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. This teaching calls us out of distraction, routine faith, and familiarity, and into a daily, intentional pursuit of God that shapes every area of life.
