Neighboring Part 1: Intro

When Jesus taught us to love our neighbor…what if he actually meant it?

Neighboring Part 2: Let’s Get Honest

When it comes to neighboring, we need to get honest about how we’re doing, what might need to change, and how all of this makes us feel.

Neighboring Part 3: But This Is Scary

The Israelite scouts wrongly assumed they would be unsuccessful in taking the Promised Land…we tend to do the same thing in loving our neighbors!

Neighboring Part 4: Stranger to Acquaintance to Relationship

If we’re going to really love our neighbors, we’ve got to get to know them…on their turf.

Neighboring Part 5: Neighboring is an End in Itself

We don’t love our neighbors to convert them. We love our neighbors because we are converted.

Neighboring Part 6: Are You Good With the Way Things Are?

God wants our love for others to actually be noticed; like hot or cold water; never lukewarm irrelevance.

Neighboring Part 7: The Art of Receiving

We talk ourselves out of asking for help all the time because we don’t want to impose. But the simple act of receiving from others creates a bridge of love between us and our neighbors.

Neighboring Part 8: The Art of Focusing

Be friendly to everyone, get close to a few, and never take for granted the value of real friends.

Neighboring Part 9: The Art of Forgiving

Forgiveness is not a nice thing you’re supposed to do for someone who hurt you. In Jesus’s name, forgiveness releases you from their control and sets you free. Only then can you heal and love again.

Neighboring Part 10: Mustard Seed Neighboring

May we use our mustard seed faith to reach out, break the cycle of fear, and love our neighbors in Jesus’s name. Since God has called us to do it he will empower us to do it. Mustard Seeds Unite!
