Topic: Love

You fight favoritism in your heart and you grow in character by giving VIP treatment to those who are more vulnerable than you. We fight favoritism by going to the back of the line. This isn’t optional for us. As a church, this is our obligation, and God doesn’t have another set of hands and feet on the earth other than His church. We’re called to this.

You know how to pursue. Don’t waste the gift that God has given you through all these years. Fall in love all over again. If the grass looks greener somewhere else, put some fertilizer down. Water your own yard. Mow that grass.

This parable makes it clear that if we love our neighbors only when it requires no time, energy, money, or risk, we will never love our neighbors as ourselves. All love is costly.
