Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  Matthew 22:37-39

I love the way Nehemiah reminded us to live out this verse in our daily lives through our FAVOR WITH KINGS series last weekend. What a great reminder that it’s about the people and NOT the project. My prayer for you this week is that you are seeing people first, loving and and serving others in your workplace…at your school…in your neighborhood…allowing God to demonstrate His love through you. This is a great series to remind us who we are called to be as the Church. Let’s continue to invite our friends and neighbors to come and hear the heart of the gospel, experiencing first-hand who the Church is called to be.

This weekend, we have the opportunity to hear from our very own Caleb Anderson. Caleb pastors our Huntington Beach campus and is the author of the book FAVOR WITH KINGS. He is passionate about Nehemiah and the lessons God has for us. I can’t wait for you to hear from him! Be sure to invite someone to come with you to the service.

It was so great to meet many of you at our Beyond spotlight events! I’m excited to be on our BEYOND prayer journey together, and I look forward to seeing how God will speak to us in the coming days and weeks. Be sure to stop by the BEYOND spotlight table on the patio or visit the Beyond website for more information or to sign up for the daily prayer reminders.

Thrilled to be following Jesus and changing the world together!

Peace,

Kyle
