About This Message

Jesus called wholehearted love the greatest commandment — yet most of us love God with a divided heart. Pastor Miriam opens Deuteronomy 6 with honesty and warmth, showing how careers, worries and even good things quietly compete for first place.

This message is an invitation back to first love: practical rhythms of morning prayer, Sabbath rest and gratitude that re-centre a scattered heart on the One who loved us first.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."

Deuteronomy 6:5

Three Takeaways

  1. 1

    Love is a direction before it is a feeling. You steer your heart by what you behold, schedule and savour.

  2. 2

    Idols whisper; God sings. Learn to recognise the voices competing for your devotion, and answer with worship.

  3. 3

    Whole hearts raise whole families. When parents love God first, faith transfers naturally to the next generation.
