As with so many of the Lord’s teachings, this one contains several layers of meaning for our lives, beyond not setting our hearts too heavily on the physical treasures of this world.

Worship Service: Informal Family - April 18, 2019
The Lord teaches us to love others as He loves us. He teaches this at the Lost Supper with His disciples, where He also washes their feet.

Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAThe Reason He Came, Part 2 - To Save the Lost
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 24, 2019
The Lord came to seek and save what was lost. The stories of the Word demonstrate the lost as those in good who have wandered from truth. The Lord came to restore truth to them rather than falsity, and save them as a result. A sign to us that we are in good and love, if we love truth. A lack of desire to pursue truth is an indication we are not in good. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PALove over Ego, Part 6 - Love and Wisdom Win
