What Does Love Look Like? - The Old "Big Six"

1. The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name
May your kingdom come, may your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory
Forever and ever.
Amen.

of Scripture, then we’ll
consider the tangible
impact of theology...

10. The Jesus Creed
Hear O’ Israel
the LORD our God,
the LORD is one;
You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, will all your soul,
with all your mind, and with all your strength,
and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no other commandment
greater than these.
Amen.
