Series – the Neighboring Church
Summary - “Love The Lord Your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength AND Love your neighbor as yourself.” This was Jesus’ answer to the question, “What is the greatest commandment?” You see, you can’t really love God without loving your neighbor and you can’t really love your neighbor without loving God. They go together!
The Neighboring life is about more intentionally loving the people around us and; specifically our literal neighbors. It’s a call to be aware of what’s happening around us. It’s a call to look for ways to jump in and act when God nudges us.
In this message series will explore what it means to Love Your Neighbor and encourage, coach, and support you in fulfilling Christ’s command.
