Experiencing God’s love in a chaotic world may seem impossible. We are often reminded in scripture that God’s love never fails and God’s most precious gift was Jesus. Jesus invited everyone to the table without condition. As Jesus invites us to the table, let us open our tables to others without conditions.

The Lord tells us to be ready. Are you ready for whatever comes your way? Hip hop artist, Suga Free, sings the line, “if you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready.” As the body of Christ, we are charged with the task of being ready to serve. A month ago, Jesus reminded us that we are to serve our neighbors. We are to serve each other. We need to break away from the walls of the church and be servants of Christ in the world.
Accompanying Scripture:
Genesis 15:1-6, Psalm 33:12-22, Luke 12:32-40
What makes someone a neighbor? Explore the parable of the Good Samaritan in our context today. How are we neighborly? How are we not neighborly? Does it matter who our neighbors are?

It is hard to give unconditional love but as Christians, we are commanded by Jesus to love our neighbors.
