Love your Neighbor – Holidays a good way to connect

Love your neighbor Holidays a good way to connectWe hope the testimonies encouraged you to step out in your community. This week its about Easter and how your testimony can encourage people.

This week will celebrate one of the most important holidays in Christian history, Easter. We all know the story of Easter and how Jesus came to open the door for reconciliation with the Father and to set us free from sin. Easter is celebrated widely in the church, but a lot of people outside of the church don’t even know about that deeper meaning of it. For many it’s a celebration of the Easter Bunny and finding gifts. But we forget about the greatest gift we get on Easter. But this is a great way to connect with people. Why don’t you invite someone over to your house for Easter for a meal with your family and share naturally during conversation why Easter is important to you.

We wanted to see the Son of God movie for Easter but instead of watching it alone we invited our neighbor friends to join us. It opened up great conversation and helped people to see Jesus in a new way and even understand Easter better. It’s simple, but it those simple things bring the love of Jesus to people because you invite someone in your life and in the same way through showing his love you show them the one who loves them even more. It doesn’t have to be a sermon, just share your story and what Jesus means to you.

  1. Ask yourself why Jesus and your faith is important to you and how it changed your life.
  2. Think this week who you could invite over for Easter dinner and then do it.
