Growing in God Series

10.04.09

Jesus gets simple: love God & love others

Loving others stage 1:  other followers of Jesus

Loving others stage 2:  everyone else

Jesus gets clear: what it looks like to love everyone 

The radically inclusive call of Jesus   (v. 27-28)

His invitation is the same to everyone: follow me

The radically inclusive parties of Jesus   (v. 29-30)

            He hangs out with people that aren’t like him

The radically inclusive mission of Jesus   (v. 31-32)

            He came for the sick, the sinful, & the separated   

Following Jesus gets simple and clear: we love everyone
