Some sources claim that there have been over 100 million songs written in our world about the topic of love. Everyone’s talking—or singing—about it, but what exactly is love? What does it look like? How do we know when we find it? How do we know how to show it? This interactive online Bible study for teens will explore those questions and more as we look closely at Jesus and find out what is “Love to the Fullest.”

Hi all!
As many of you know, Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on much of the Southeast. Included in that hard-hit area is the region in which Beth and I used to live, so this is personal for me/my family. The congregation for which I was the first pastor and at which I served for 22 years – Living Word Lutheran in Gray, TN – is serving as a flood relief donation center, working with the local United Way to collect and distribute aid. If you desire to make a donation, please click on the link below. This could be a neat way for some of us to live our God-lived life of service, of shrewdness, of generosity.
May Jesus bless our brothers and sisters, and may Jesus use this challenge as an opportunity to connect more people to Himself.
Yours,
pastor
