This is the beginning of a two-part message series, Neighborly Ways. This message is based on the first two chapters of a book – The Art of Neighboring – and deals with issues of proximity. Luke, in Acts, reminds us of the closeness of God to us each day. The story from Luke’s Gospel deals with the Lawyer who approached Jesus and asked “Who is my neighbor?” The seminal verse that defines this message is that the Lawyer is trying to justify his action toward neighbors, which we assume as less than neighborly. Something to think about!
