Love All (God.LGBTQ.You. 2 - Pastor Mike)

Love All (God.LGBTQ.You. 2 - Pastor Mike)

Author: 922 Ministries April 20, 2026 Duration: 37:24

In a culture where the temperature on faith and sexuality is often "turned up to 1000 degrees," Pastor Mike continues the five-week series, "God, LGBTQ, and You," by focusing on the second greatest commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Building on last week’s message about loving God most, this sermon explores what it means to truly love our neighbors in the midst of a polarizing cultural divide. Drawing from Matthew 22, Pastor Mike challenges the "conditional view of love" that often plagues both religious and secular communities. The big idea is simple but transformative: followers of Christ are called to love all our neighbors a lot—not just some of them, and not just a little.

Through the examples of the woman at the well, the self-righteous Pharisees, and the tax collector Zacchaeus, we see a Jesus who was "so approachable and loving" that it confused the people around Him. He didn't lead with a ledger of mistakes; He led with countercultural love. Most importantly, the sermon highlights the heart of the Gospel: God demonstrated His love for us by dying for us "while we were still sinners"—not after we had everything figured out.


Each week, the communities of St. Peter Lutheran and The CORE in Appleton, Wisconsin, gather to explore faith, life, and scripture.
