Beginning With Beloved: Our Journey to Love In Mark 12, the teacher of the law asks Jesus, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus responds by saying, “The most important one is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” If we were to summarize this scripture we might do so by acknowledging what seems to be its two-fold nature: 1) Loving God and 2) Loving our neighbors as ourselves. This series explores the idea of it being a three-fold command. The third, hidden within “Love your neighbor as yourself” making the greatest commandment summed up as: Love God. Love yourself. Love your neighbor. Could it be that the greatest hinderance to us loving our neighbors effectively is that we are failing to love ourselves the way God loves us? |
statement of inclusion.
Journey at Christ Church is called to the ministry of reconciliation. We embrace, as a gift, the diversity of our neighborhood and the world. We celebrate our human diversity of age, education, ethnicity, faith history, gender identity, marital status, mental and physical ability, political view, race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.
We affirm that all people are created in the image of God, and, as beloved children of God, all are worthy of God’s love and grace. We welcome all people into participation in the life and ministries of Journey at Christ Church as we journey together toward Jesus.
We recognize that there are differences among us, but that we are more alike than we are different. We believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike. We also believe that we are called to love each other, embracing our differences rather than excluding others because of them. We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church and society. We invite all people to join us in our faith journey toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect.
