There is a tension between love and God’s commands. Some say we should suspend God’s commands in order to make people feel loved. Others say God’s commands are primary and love comes later. I’ve personally been called a jerk for believing God’s commands over the world’s idea of love. It is complicated and affects all of us in daily life. In this week’s Roman’s passage we are given instruction about love and law. It is not only informative about God, but gives us practical instruction about how to live life.
Join us this Sunday for worshipful singing, thoughtful prayer, biblical teaching, and loving fellowship. We will worship, take communion, and eat dinner after the service (at Urban Plates).
