Episode 5: Loving Others and Loving God Pt. 1 Oak Arbor Church: Kindling

    • Christianity

In this episode Pastors Alan and Steven move from talking about our relationship with God into our relationships with others. They discuss the link between those two ideas and ask whether it's possible to love the Lord without loving other people, and vice versa. The ensuing conversation was so good we had to split it into two parts. 

In this first part, they discuss what it means to love other people and what that can look like. Spoiler alert: it doesn't just mean being nice to everyone all the time.  They break down what it really means to love someone and why hatred is incompatible with our command to love our neighbor.
