Making Margin

Week 2

May 5, 2024 • Thad Huff • Luke 10:25–37, Leviticus 23:22, Deuteronomy 24:19–21, Ephesians 5:15–16, 2 Corinthians 9:6–15

What is the greatest factor in our decision to neighbor well? Is it the amount of resources we have? Is it our skills and abilities? What about the amount of time we have? Are we too busy to be a good neighbor? Today we will look at the ways we budget our time, talent, and treasures and how that affects our ability to neighbor well in the way of Jesus’ love for others.

Open Life Church gathers together each Sunday in person at the Bonney Lake High School Performing Arts Center at 10 am. Our online messages are there for those who are not able to be with us in person, filmed at The Gathering Place earlier in the week, and released each Sunday morning.

Who is a neighbor?

April 28, 2024 • Thad Huff • Luke 10:25–37, James 2:14–19, Leviticus 19:9–10, Ephesians 2:8–9, Acts 20:24

Do you think the word neighbor is a noun? What if it could be both a noun and a verb? What if Jesus was actually challenging us to be a neighbor and to neighbor well? Neighboring is about allowing God to inspire and release us to love our neighbors: the people next door and across the street. People who we should be able to pray for by name and need. If we could be a sent people to our neighbors, to neighbor well, what kind of impact might that have on our community? Join us during this new series at Open Life.
