LOVE BIG: Love One Another

October 30, 2019 13:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MB

Jesus gave us one commandment, “Love one another. Just as I have loved you so you must love one another.” Easier said than done when we look at the way that Jesus loved, and the people whom Jesus loved. Often times we love people the way we think they deserve to be loved instead of loving people the way Jesus deserves. Because, the way Jesus deserves - and commands us - is to love others.
