-Does the command to "love your neighbor" mean to love your actual neighbor?

-What happened when a team of pastors went to their city leaders and asked what they could do to help the city with its neighboring project.

-What if we just drew a circle around where we are and worked out from there?

-Step One: learn your neighbor's names. Dave's war stories.

-Sometimes our neighborhoods are already filled with opportunities to meet up. Maybe we need to slow down long enough to connect with what's already going on? Should we check our life pace?

-Dave throws out the challenge: neighboring is not an evangelism strategy. If you knew your neighbor would never take a step toward God, would you still make the effort to follow the command?

-Where should we start?
