In this sermon, we looked at the connection between our love for God and our love for others. In 2 Corinthians 13:11-14, Paul gives the church six commands, starting with the command to rejoice or worship. The next five commands guide us in our relationships with one another. In the Bible, God continually compares our fellowship with Him to our fellowship with one another, saying that we can't claim to have fellowship with Him if we aren't living in fellowship with one another; our relationship with one another is connected to our relationship with God. Therefore, our worship is deeply connected to our relationships. This helps more greatly understand Matthew 5:23-24, when Jesus said that if we discover we have a broken relationship with another believer, we should set down our worship and go get right with that person then return to offer our gift of worship to the Lord.
