This series isn’t about privacy fences or taking care of your yard. Jesus called us to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves. It’s the greatest commandment. In this series we’re looking at how to neighbor to take steps into relationships, not religion. Today we talked about loving the lonely.

1) How much time per day are you alone? No people, phone, music, TV, book, or anything. Just you.

2) Craig talked about relational poverty as a main problem due to lack of personal interaction. How will the concept of relational poverty make you think or act differently?

3) What do you think are the greatest contributing factors to loneliness in yourself and people you know?

4) Can you think of someone who's lonely? What are some practical ways you can you act like Jesus and love them?

5) One of our core essentials is DO LIFE TOGETHER. Why do you think that is a crucial aspect to life and our relationship with God?

6) Doing life together is about you help others & others help you. It’s a two way street. Sometimes we need to take the first step to build relationships. Why do we usually wait for someone else?

7) What are some ways we can build relationships where we can help each other take steps in life and with God?

God please empower us to overcome our relational poverty. Help us ditch deferred loneliness and engage in real relationship with people in front of us. Also, will You show us specific people You’d like to comfort through us? Amen.
