Sermon Series: The Beauty of Loving People
Here at Chesapeake, our three core values are: All People Matter To God, Full Devotion To Jesus Christ Is Normal, and Excellence Honors God.
Excellence tends to display itself in all kinds of ways. And Full Devotion is more easily recognizable, too. But the value of All People Matter To God – this can be a bit harder to see at times.
It shouldn’t be this way.
So what if we did something about that? What if we made loving people visible? What if we so clearly displayed excellence and our devotion to Christ in the way we love people? And not just those who are easy to love – but even loving the unlovely. Imagine the community we would be if together we made our God known through the beauty of loving people.
Because if All People Matter To God, shouldn’t all people matter to us?

Keep God First
A common misconception is that The Ten Commandments are a list of old school “Thou Shalt Nots” – a bunch of outdated rules to follow. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Rather, the very first commandment is actually something to DO. (“You shall have no other gods before Me.”) This Father’s Day weekend, what kind of men will we be, what kind of community could we be, if we would all Keep God First?
