Loving our Neighbors | Rev. Brooke Hartman

Most of us are so consumed with our family and friends that we don’t make a point to know our neighbors. Who is our neighbor? Jesus challenges us with the parable of the Good Samaritan which teaches us that we are called to love those who we usually don’t even think about or want to know at all. However, what if we took his mandate literally and started making a point to get to really know those who physically live around us. Do we know the names of our neighbors? Do we know what struggles they have? As followers of Christ we are called to love and be welcoming to those who live around us. When we are more intentional about loving our neighbors we have the opportunity to extend the love of Christ in our neighborhood and change it for the better.

Scripture - Luke 10:25-37
