Preaching Notes (Sun) July 1

13th SUNDAY [A] 

MATTHEW 10:37-44

  • Just as there is a proper order to making something, Jesus teaches there is a certain sequence for daily living.
  • God must be the first love in all relationships and activities.
  • When we love God first, all other loves – family, friends – actually grow stronger and more dynamic.
  • That is, loving God increases our capacity for loving others.
  • Our love of God always is a personal response to His first loving us.
