“Who is the love of our life?”  We will focus on the three essential areas of love:   God, neighbor, and God’s creation.  These three areas are central themes in the Bible and need to be balanced.  Love is the origin and goal.  According to Jesus, the first commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  The second commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself.  Caring for God’s creation is part of our fundamental purpose as human beings and should affect the way we do everything.

Topic:  FAVORITE DAUGHTER: RECLAIMING OUR IDENTITY

Are you tired of constantly running?  Is your to-do list never done?  Are you tired of giving to the point of exhaustion?  Far too many women are stuck on the gerbil wheel of productivity, believing they need to earn their worth and impress God.  Sisters, it’s time to shut these lies down, receive God’s power, and reclaim our identity as His favorite daughter.
