We're beginning a brand new series called "The Way" about what it means to make disciples the Jesus way—exploring how followers of Christ are identified by their characteristics. The way of a disciple is defined by having all of Christ in all aspects of life, recognizable to others as being citizens of God's Kingdom.

• Before Christians were called "Christians," they were known as "followers of the Way"
• Jesus identified loving God as the greatest commandment, referencing Deuteronomy's guidance
• God's "love languages" include four specific ways we show Him love
• Loving God with complete allegiance means 100% commitment, not a halfway relationship
• Our primary identity as God's children should organize all other roles in our lives
• The third expression of love is through our decisions—representing God well to others
• Worship as the fourth love language means reorienting ourselves to God's goodness regularly
• People should be able to tell where we're from by how we express love for God
• Like finding a pearl of great value, discovering the Kingdom makes everything else secondary
