You Shall Love the Lord Your God
In Mark 12, a scribe comes to ask Jesus, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answers, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength’” (Mark 12:28-30). Jesus responds to the scribe’s question with words from the Shema, the passage from Deuteronomy 6 that is recited daily by many of the Jewish faith. These words form a covenant between God and God’s people and show us a way to respond to this God who so extravagantly loves us through the cross. On Wednesday nights, Pastor Christina's reflection will center on how we can love the Lord our God with all our hearts, our souls, our minds, and our strength.
Wednesday, February 21 Hear, O Israel
Wednesday, February 28 You Shall Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart
Wednesday, March 7 You Shall Love the Lord Your God with All Your Soul
Wednesday, March 14 You Shall Love the Lord Your God with All Your Mind

The readings for the Sundays in Lent this year also contain covenants: through Noah, Abraham, the Ten Commandments, Moses, and the new covenant in Christ. On Sunday mornings, we will explore these covenants.
