Love
For the month of August, our Bible study will focus on four “one another” commands in Scripture. Not only do these commands teach us how to be more like Christ, they also teach us how to have healthy, godly relationships with the people in our lives. We begin with the most important—love. As you’re preparing for Sunday, we want to hear from you: Why do you consider “love one another” the most important one another command? Post your thoughts on this blog.
And don’t miss this week’s Web features:
- “The Prodigal God,” a sermon series from Tim Keller
- 1 Corinthians 13
- “How He Loves: A Song Story,” the story behind the popular David Crowder Band song
How He Loves : A Song Story from john mark mcmillan on Vimeo.

The thing that really sticks out to me in the lesson is what was sad about the elderly John; “he’d go into church meetings in Ephesus and say only, ‘Little Children, love one another. Little Children, love one another. Little Children, love one another.”. John, the beloved disciple, a man who physically saw Jesus and spent 3 years as his close companion, a man who was blessed with godly wisdom and was used to write scripture, this man’s advice in his advanced years was to simply ‘love on another’. Wow. I know from experience that as young adults we sometimes get caught up in trying to be ‘deep’ with our theological contemplations, yet a man who’s life experiences were shared with our Messiah simply reminded and urged his fellow believers to love. Love. There might be something important about this love that we are speaking about this week, no?
