Mark 12:13-34

Big idea: Loving God supremely leads me to love others authentically

Loving God supremely means:

1) Have confidence in my earthly and eternal identity (v. 13-17)

2 Characteristics of having full confidence in Jesus:
a. I respect my earthly authorities (v. 17)
b. I rest in my eternal identity (v. 16-17)

2) I have hope for my present and my future (v. 18-27)

My hope is anchored in:
a. The truth of God’s word (v. 24-27)
b. The power of God (v. 26-27)

3) I love God fully and others genuinely (v. 28-34)

Am I loving God fully?
a. With my whole heart (Exodus 20:3)
b. With my whole soul (Psalm 42:1-2)
c. With my whole mind (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
d. With my whole strength (Romans 12:1)
