Luke 6:27-38 | If we were to distill the Christian message into one word, some might suggest that word be “love.” Out of grace, God loves us, and now, we are called to embody that love. Often the catchphrase is “love God, love others,” right? But while that command may seem cut and dry, the more we experience life, the more we are likely to recognize that truly loving one another is quite difficult. So then what? Well, having just passed a holiday celebrating love, join us in worship as we experience God’s grace for us, and as we are challenged to take up a renewed call to embody God’s love in the world.
