SUNDAY, MARCH 16th, 2014Ken Elsner, Lead PastorI don't know about you, but I tend to lean towards being an introvert. Which means, when it comes to my neighbors or going out of my way to meet new people, it's challenging. I have enough to deal with in my life than have to worry about other people who aren't my family. Once you open the door a crack into someone's life, BAM, the floodgates tend to open. So here where the problem is. Jesus was all about people. I mean, he went all over Judea meeting people. Getting into their stuff. Their lives. He even went where no other self-respecting Jew would go. Samaria. Why did he do that? Why did he have to be so "loving?" Because people matter to God. And they should matter to us. Our neighbors should matter to us. Our coworkers. And yes, our extended family too!! Part 5
