A Lenten Journey Toward Love and the Grammar of God

Series Overview

In Mark 12, Jesus names the greatest commandment not as a hierarchy of priorities, but as a single way of life held in tension: love for God, love for neighbor, and love for self. Throughout Lent, we will allow the Jesus Creed to re-tune our imaginations, challenging power-based understandings of faithfulness and recovering love as the lens through which God, Scripture, sin, and the Kingdom are understood. This journey leads us through Holy Week to Easter, where love is not proven by force, but vindicated through resurrection.
