What does it really mean to love God with all your mind?

In Mark 12, when Jesus is asked about the greatest commandment, His answer reaches beyond emotion or ritual. He calls us to love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. But what does it look like to love God with our minds — especially in a world where faith and intellect are often treated as opposites?

In this message, Pastor Terry explores how faith invites questions, deep thinking, and intellectual curiosity. From the Shema in Deuteronomy to the writings of Paul, Scripture consistently calls believers to engage their minds — to wrestle with truth, to study, and to pursue understanding.

Faith is not the abandonment of reason. It is the pursuit of truth.

God is not threatened by our questions. In fact, He created us with minds capable of seeking Him. As followers of Christ, we are invited to dig deeper, to test what we hear against Scripture, and to allow our minds to be renewed by the truth of God.

During this series on the Greatest Commandment, we continue discovering what it means to love God with every part of who we are — heart, soul, mind, and strength.
