One of the simplest and most important instructions in the Bible...

...is also one of the hardest.

It's to LOVE.

How can you practice love in tangible ways—when sometimes, if you're honest, you find your heart more inclined toward irritation... and even hatred?

Listen in as David, Adam, Corina, and Rachel dive into 1 John 2:7-17, and discover...

• How love is to be a hallmark of your Christian life
• How you can love even though your flesh's tendency may be to hate
• What you are NOT to love

Dive in and see how love totally transforms everything about how you relate to other believers, and to the world.

Scripture Passages and Verses Referenced: 1 John 2: 7-17; Leviticus 19:18; John 13
