THE AFTERWORD | The Greatest - Week 4

WestGate Church Teaching

Title: THE AFTERWORD | The Greatest : Love Your Neighbor Description: A while ago, we polled folks at WestGate Church and asked them which of the three loves was the most challenging to them. The winner, by a clear margin, was “love your neighbor.” This makes sense in light of our current cultural climate, where people who believe a lot differently from you are seen not as strangers, but enemies. Jay stops by to talk about practical ways to love our neighbor, and shares some tips and tricks. We talk about how this value is inviolable for those who want to follow Jesus. We also try to define “neighbor” and “love” in ways that help. Also! We delve into the neuroscience of human connection, and why this matters as we interact with people who aren’t followers of Jesus. Finally, David does a deep dive into the 1985 song “We Are the World” - an incredibly influential song that not only sold 20 million copies, but has spiritually resonant themes about responsibility toward sacrifice of one’s neighbor. Okay, he does in WAY too deep, but you know how Dave gets. Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim
