Why is it important?
When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us. And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!
Our tip for this month is offer to water a neighbor’s plants or take care of fish while they are out of town! Watch the video with some tips on that!

2 more books to go! Yay!! And today we are reading about Zechariah. This book is pointing very strongly to Jesus the Messiah who they were waiting for. Be inspired!!
3 more books and you read through the whole bible!! Yay!! Today we are on the book of Haggai. God send that prophet when people lived in spiritual apathy. He was the first prophet that came to the post exilic community. A big part of his message was for repentance from apathy. May this book speak to you!
Our story today is about Zechariah and a humble future King. May it be an encouragement to you!
