Mark 12:28-34 In Mark 12, a man asks Jesus what the greatest commandment is. Jesus tells him it's to love God and love others (paraphrased). Loving God always comes before loving others, so what does it mean to love God with ALL our hearts?

Colosians 3:1-17 It's in our nature to want to be happy. We are all after it. But happiness is not what we need; what we really need is joy. There's a stark difference between the two. So how do we find true, biblical joy and keep it?
