"Loving Our Neighbors"  

This past Sunday, together we thought creatively about how to love our neighbors--the ones who live within a hundred yards of you. 

Are there "strangers" next to you that can become acquaintances?
Are there acquaintances that can become meaningful relationships? 
 
Do your relationships with your neighbors go beyond sports and weather--do you know their passions and what they care about?
Our home locations are not a coincidence. 

Jesus taught us to "love our neighbors," but in typical fashion He didn't define it precisely.  How can you define it for the ones that live adjacent to you this next week? 
This Sunday at Grace Community
In the Bible, God shows us how to form and nurture great relationships.  This Sunday, Pastor Wes will lead us in some vital relationship principles given by Jesus in the "Sermon on the Mount." These are principles where all of us can grow and improve--by God's help, we can do it!  In advance of Sunday, please pray that the Gospel will be shared effectively and with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Your prayer changes things!

Good News From God's Word
"Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'  ---Matthew 22:37-39.

"...God Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live."   ---Acts 17:25-26.
