Aren’t we supposed to love our neighbors? Aren’t we supposed to serve others? These questions arise when we see Martha serving the Lord and her guests only to be told that her sister, Marry, is doing the right thing by sitting at Jesus’ feet. This week, we wrap up our Hi, Neighbor, series with the end of Luke 10 and the story of Mary and Martha. Join Fr. Ben Williams as we are reminded that we simply join God in the work he is already doing. The work of mission still persists, but not at the expense of sitting at the feet of Jesus.

What does it mean to be sent by Jesus to prepare the way? How does the local church participate in Christ’s commission to make disciples of all nations? It all starts in the neighborhood. This week, we continue our series titled, “Hi, Neighbor,” where we’ve been exploring what it means to love our neighbors…literally. Fr. Ben Williams looks at the first “mission trip,” when he sent 72 disciples out to preach the kingdom of God. As we settle into a new neighborhood, where it can feel a bit foreign, we are reminded that Jesus sends us out to labor in the harvest as lambs among wolves.

When asked by a lawyer testing him how to receive eternal life, Jesus tells him to do what the Law tells him to do. It wasn’t enough to simply know the law, it has to be obeyed. This week, Fr. Ben Williams continues a sermon series titled, Hi, Neighbor. As we look at the Parable of the Good Samaritan a second time, we see that being a neighbor to others means meeting practical needs, sharing the gospel, and doing it all at our own expense. Join us as we look at Jesus as the ultimate example of what it means to be a neighbor to others.
