All of ME Part 4 | All My Strength
May 18, 2025 • David Hermes
In this message, we’re diving into what it really means to love God with everything we've got – our whole being. It’s all about the Shema, that ancient prayer in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 that Jesus also highlights in Mark 12:28-31. It tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. But there’s a twist – the Hebrew word for strength, 'me'od,' actually means 'very much' or 'everything.' It’s not just about physical strength; it’s about giving God our whole self – our all. Paul’s struggle in Romans 7 reminds us that our weaknesses are just chances for God’s strength to shine through. So, as we work to love God fully, we’re reminded to lean on the Holy Spirit, not just our own willpower.
