SERIES DESCRIPTION:

Love can be a buzz word in today’s culture. But we all know that actions speak louder than words. Jesus spent a lot of time explaining what loving each other looks like, and then he demonstrated it with His actions. Because of that, He could say with authority “Love one another the way I have first loved you” (John 13). Throughout the New Testament, the writers of Scripture broke down in clear terms what it means to love each other as Jesus first loves us. In a new 8-part series, we dig into how we can apply these different “one another” teachings and learn how to love others intentionally.
