Built on Mark 12:28-30, this singing and prayer service takes up the greatest commandment one point at a time: loving God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength. Each point is paired with a scripture reading, songs, and a prayer, using Matthew 6, Psalm 42, Romans 12, and 1 John 4. The closing devotional explains that the heart is emotion, the soul is the spiritual part that lives on, the mind is reason, and strength is action. It ties these to the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, holds up Christ as the example, and urges being part of the Lord’s church, where Christians learn from one another how to love God. The service ends with an invitation, the Lord’s supper, and a dismissal prayer.
