In Mark 12, Jesus binds two commandments together and declares that no commandment is greater: love for God and love for neighbor, with "as yourself" as the measure of the second. Read together, they describe a single way of life rather than a hierarchy of priorities. 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.

A note on these manuscripts: what is preached on Sunday and what is written here sometimes diverge. As sharper exegetical or theological readings surface after delivery, the manuscript gets corrected to keep the written record accurate. Treat these pages as the refined version, not always a transcript of what you heard live.
