The Most Important

About this message

In this message, Ovi explores what truly matters in life through Jesus' answer to the teacher of the law (Mark 12:28-34)—that the most important commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength (the Shema), and the second is to love your neighbour as yourself, and that these two are inseparably connected. Through the powerful image of the widow's two coins and a comparison between a spectacular celebrity performance and the humble worship of the church band, Ovi reveals that Jesus doesn't measure worth by impressiveness or size; He looks at our hearts and is far more pleased with authentic, love-filled offerings of any size than with grand shows performed with mixed motives. As you listen, ask yourself: What do I have to give to Jesus today, and will I give it from my whole heart with genuine love for Him and for those around me?
