Our LIVES are interdependent and interconnected

Our neighborhood looks different when our FENCES are down

Two Biblical Principles of Neighboring:

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39

The PROXIMITY Principle

From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. Act 17:26

The KINDNESS Principle

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 5:32

Reflection Questions

Think of 3 ways your life is interconnected or interdependent with your neighbors.

What would your neighborhood look like if you were to take down the relational “fences” that keep you at a distance?

Why should we love people without an agenda?

What is one thing you could TOMORROW for a neighbor that lives next door?
