      What’s in This Quarter

      God commands us to love one another as God loves us. This quarter begins with David and Jonathan’s friendship as a model of love. It continues with God’s laws requiring care and concern for the poor, loving and embracing of the stranger, and the demands of love for one another in the teachings of Jesus. These sessions elaborate on themes of love for one another in the epistles and the expressions of love in the early formations of the Church. Finally, the quarter ends with call stories from the New Testament.

First Corinthians explores the sermon on love from Paul’s writing, which depicts the height of human love coming from divine love.

      Unit II, “Godly Love among Believers,” contains five sessions.
