2 Samuel 6:1-5
Love! Love is a word that's used a lot. It's talked about. It's written about in love poems and love stories. It's sung in love songs. We use the word love a lot. But what does love look like? If you were to put a face on love, what would you see?

And in that same passage in Matthew 22, where Jesus said, "The greatest commandment is to love God…" right on the heels He, He said, "…and to love your neighbor as yourself." That's the second greatest commandment. So what are we to be about? We're to be about loving God. We're to be about loving p ...
