TAKE IT HOME QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK:

— When is a time that someone made a truly practical impact in your life?
— How did Jesus define our neighbor: by our identity, or by theirs? Why is that distinction important?
— What is one way that you can make a practical impact in someone's life this week? Be specific.
— Go and do that!
