Main Text: Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV) 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

Preaching Point: Jesus teaches us to measure genuine faith by how comprehensively we love God and how sincerely we love others.

Teaching Points:

1. Ask: What Does God Expect from Me? (vv. 34-36)
2. Love God with All You've Got (vv. 37-38)
3. Love the Person Next to You (vv. 39-40)
