Here's last weekend’s sermon in 10 Tweets in our “The Art of Neighboring" series.

1/ If you’re too busy to love your literal neighbor, your problem is not that you’re too busy.

2/ It’s easy to pick on Martha, but there’s a lot she got right. One was hospitality.

3/ We’re called to steward our homes, not just our time and money.

4/ Caesar Kalinowski: “Jesus ate with others — a lot! So should we.”

5/ Where does Martha go wrong? Luke explains that it’s not what she was doing but how she was doing it (v40)

6/ This story is an illustration of Jesus’ teaching on worry/anxiety over necessities of life & making his kingdom our #1 priority

7/ Martha ought to have been occupied with the one thing (God’s kingdom) while serving.

8/ Offer your neighborhood, your home, and your table to God for his mission. Model for your kids. Do mission together.

9/ Don’t fuss over the details. Embrace authenticity in hospitality. Consider the virtue of scruffy hospitality.

10/ Loving your neighbor is not a call to add mission to your life; it’s a call to living your life on mission.

Here's last weekend’s sermon in 10 Tweets in our “The Art of Neighboring" series.

1/ Neighbor = people like you or unlike you, your friends and your enemies, people near you and people far from you… everyone is your neighbor

2/ This series is a call to love our literal neighbors and how to do it

3/ If I never love my literal neighbor I’m in danger of never literally loving my neighbor

4/ Not possible in modern world with garages/suburbs/winters? Actually, it is harder but not impossible.

5/ Some of your neighbors don’t want to connect, but most of your neighbors do

6/ Don’t simply set out to be a more loving neighbor; set out to create a more loving neighborhood

7/ If you’re not a party person or planner, ask a neighbor to help you plan it

8/ Do your part by joining what is already happening

9/ Stranger to Acquaintance to Relationship - Directory to Party/Project to "What's next, Lord?"

10/ You have been placed where you live for a specific purpose—so that when people reach out to G, you can help - Acts 17:26-27
