WEEK 1 — CREATED TO BE LOVED AND TO LOVE
Anchor Text: Genesis 1–2
This week explores love overflowing into creation. God did not create minimally, but from abundance. Humanity was loved before we labored, cared for before we contributed, and created for communion with the God who is love.
WEEK 2 — THE FIRST FULL DAY: REST BEFORE WORK
Anchor Text: Genesis 2:1–3
This week explores love giving rest before earning. Humanity’s first full day was spent receiving God’s presence before accomplishing anything for Him. Rest becomes an act of trust in the God who lovingly sustains all things.
WEEK 3 — SACRED TIME: WHEN GOD FILLS A DAY
Anchor Text: Genesis 3:1–10; Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:12–15
This week explores love protecting relationship through sacred time. Sabbath is God’s weekly invitation to re-enter the rest He gave at creation, even after humanity walked away in Genesis 3. When Adam and Eve chose the fruit, they stepped out of trust and into shame, fear, hiding, and restlessness. Yet God still came looking for them in the garden. In Exodus 20, Sabbath points us back to creation; in Deuteronomy 5, Sabbath points us back to redemption. Both reveal the same God: the One who created us in love, pursued us after our fall, redeemed us from bondage, and still invites us to rest in Him.
WEEK 4 — THE TREASURE THAT REORDERS EVERYTHING
Anchor Text: Matthew 13:44
This week explores how love awakens desire. We do not change because we are forced. We change because love awakens desire for something better.
WEEK 5 — COME TO ME
Anchor Text: Matthew 11:28–30
This week explores love becoming personal in Jesus. Jesus is gentle enough for our shame, strong enough for our bondage, and good enough for us to come near.
WEEK 6 — ENTERING HIS REST
Anchor Text: Hebrews 4
This week explores love carrying humanity through the cross. We can rest because salvation is not dependent on our ability to repair what sin broke. God knew what humanity would do. He knew what love would cost. And still, He created. Still, He pursued. Still, He came. Still, He gave Himself.
WEEK 7 — THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD
Anchor Text: Revelation 21–22
This week explores love bringing humanity home. Jesus did not save us merely to forgive the past. He saved us to share His future.
