As we enjoy the brilliant colors and fragrances of spring, we are reminded of God's deep, abiding love for us. He not only surrounds us with beauty, but blesses us with family – with moms, dads, mentors, and more who listen, pray, encourage, and help us through our days. As we celebrate Mother's Day this month, let's take time to share our appreciation for moms – and the many others who have filled that role in our lives. 

SUNDAY MORNINGS

RELATIONSHIPS MATTER:

When It is Difficult to Love  

Jesus’ Great Commandment is about love; loving God and loving others. The way to show people that we love God is to extend God’s love to others. How do we love when people are different and difficult? How do we show care in this divisive and diverse world? How do we love the way Jesus loves? First Corinthians 13 gives us practical insights into how we make an eternal impact when we love in action.

May 07: Love is Not Control, 1 Corinthians 13:5  

May 14: Love Speaks the Truth, 1 Corinthians 13:6  

May 21: The Secret of Lasting Relationships, 1 Corinthians 13:7-8
