Sermon: Creating Safe Places: The Gift of Law – Scott Brubaker-Zehr – audio recording
Psalm 119:33-37
33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes,
and I will observe it to the end.
34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
and observe it with my whole heart.
35 Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in it.
36 Turn my heart to your decrees
and not to selfish gain.
37 Turn my eyes from looking at vanities;
be gracious to me according to your word.
Proverbs 3:1-2
1 My child, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for length of days and years of life
and abundant welfare they will give you.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
