Love is one of the most used words in the Bible. It, more than anything else, is what God created us for and what God calls us to do. We are to love on another. We aren’t just called to love our families or our friends. We are called to love our enemies.
In this series, we will explore the topic of love. What does it mean to love, to give love unconditionally? How does God love us and how does God call us to love each other?
These are the questions we will explore.
