First Things First: Love Your Neighbor

Imagine the person or people group who we despise the most—that person or that people group is also our neighbor. And we're supposed to love them as we love ourselves.

One of the most well-known phrases in the Bible, whether you're a Christian or not, is "Love your neighbor." In fact, one of the primary criticisms of modern Christianity is that Christians are hateful, particularly when it comes to certain people or people groups. When I look at this criticism objectively, I wonder if the critics are right?

Pastor Joe shares the final sermon in a six-week series called "First Things First." Over the last five sermons, he's talked about the absolute most-important commandment. The commandment on which every other word of scripture depends.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength, and...love your neighbor as yourself."
