This coming Sunday we are going to learn what should be the most important thing in our lives. As we discovered last week, LOVE, is the most important thing in our lives. The Bible says in Matthew 22:36-39 in the Living Bible, “Which is the most important command?” Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. ‘This is the first and greatest commandment. The second most important is similar: ‘Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself.’”

I want to invite you to join me in a message called “Life is about learning to love.” I want to begin by asking you a question. How would you complete this sentence?
How do you serve God? By serving others. When you do something that makes someone else’s life better in some way, you are serving God. Unfortunately, people often serve out of guilt, duty, or pressure. But God wants you to serve out of gratitude for what He has done for you. He made you, He saved you, and He is taking you to heaven. Gratitude is the best motivator to serve.
Did you know that generosity is the most talked about value in the Bible? More than faith, hope, or love? The word “faith” is mentioned 246 times in the Bible. The word “hope” is used 185 times. The word “love” and all its derivatives are used 733 times. And the word “gives” or “giving” is used 2285 times.
