Life with a Purpose: Ministry to Your Neighbor (2 of 5)
Series: Five Purposes
David Cawston
Matthew 22:37-39; Matthew 28:19-20
This series is build on two most important scriptures of the Bible

37 '''Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

Matt 28:19-20

''Baptizing them''
5. ''Maturing''
''Teaching them to obey''

- Adam lived in a perfect world!
- Adam also possessed everything he could possibly need or want!
- Adam had an exalted position!
- Adam enjoyed an intimate relationship with God!
But there was a need of his life that could not be met by all of these things! Adam needed a human relationship! God created him with that need!
None of us can rightfully say ''All I nee ...
