    If we think we can live the Christian life by following rules and forgetting about loving others, we have missed the point. The Christian life can be summed up in one word: love.

These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ” (Col. 2:16-17). Background I. God does not want you to ...read more

    God’s heart for the poor is clearly presented in Luke’s gospel. Jesus continues to hammer home the point of good news to the poor and warnings to the wealthy. What should we take from this?
