Pursue a Life Driven by Love
Message Notes
Mark 1:14-15; 12:28-34
Mark 1:14-15 “14 Later on, after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, where he preached God’s Good News.* 15 “The time promised by God has come at last!” he announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”
Turn from your sin and BELIEVE Jesus’ Good News
Mark 12:28-34 “28 One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’* 31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’* No other commandment is greater than these.”32 The teacher of religious law replied, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other. 33 And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law.” 34 Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
With God’s power, intentionally LOVE God with everything and LOVE your neighbor as yourself
Realize love for God and people is the priority, not RELIGIOUS RITUALS

Grace Leads to Life Change
The source of genuine life change is not from within us, but the transformational grace that Jesus has shown to us. Jesus’ grace changes everything.
Grace Changes Everything
The difference between following Jesus and any other belief system is that it’s not about what we do for Jesus, but what HE has done for us: GRACE!
Wisdom for Decision Making
There’s no greater indicator of our understanding of wisdom than in our decision making. Stop just hoping for change, but let God’s wisdom empower you.
