"Love Your neighbor as yourself": the art of neighboring
Jesus once summed up the whole law into two simple commands, "Love God," and "Love your neighbor." This study focuses on exactly why Jesus would put so much emphasis on loving our neighbor—and how we can put that into practice today with our actual neighbors. Loving our neighbor creates so much good for society, and more than that, it can open up opportunities for us to reflect and share God's love with them.
This Bible study is loosely based on the book entitled, The Art of Neighboring: Building Genuine Relationships Right Outside Your Door. We will be referring to it in our Bible study but not reading the book itself. If you're interested in more, you can check it out for yourself.
april 12: the call to neighboring
Today we introduce the concept of neighboring by studying Jesus' summation of the law as "Love God" and "Love your neighbor." Though simple, it's quite profound, and it doesn't mean it's easy to put into practice. Each person will take a personal inventory and examine how well they actually know their neighbors. Our goal for today is to see how authentic, loving relationships among neighbors can make a longer lasting and more effective impact than broader societal solutions.
