Like a Good Neighbor (4 of 4)
Series: Think Smaller

Luke 10:25-37
Have you ever watched the State of the Union? In recent yrs, our Presidents have taken a moment in their address to recognize an ordinary citizen for some act of heroism. This custom began in 1982 when Ronald Reagan introduced Lenny Skutnik - and to this day reporters will ask presidential aides before the SOTU who the ‘‘Skutniks’’ will be this year. Skutnik was a federal worker minding his own business in January 1982 when Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac at the 14th St. Bridge. As onlookers gathered near the bridge watching in horror, the few survivors were being pulled to safety by a rope ladder dropped from a helicopter. As Skutnik watched the event unfold, there was a lady who was unable to hold on to the rope - and she was beginning to drown. So, as the gathering crowd shouted their encouragement, Skutnik broke thru the police barricade, jumped into the icy river - and risking his own life, pulled her to safety. W/in a few days, at the SOTU, President Reagan called Skutnik a hero. Do you know what Jesus would’ve called him? A GOOD NEIGHBOR!
For (3) weeks we’ve been talking about the need to Think Smaller. Think Smaller is more than the year-2 initiative of our Aim Higher, Dream Bigger focus - it is a call for each of us to live intentionally relational in every essential relationship in our lives.
To Think Smaller is an invitation to reprioritize what it means to connect w/ God, our spouse/kids, our church family, and w/ our missional relationships w/ the world around us. To zoom in, lean into, and dig deeper into the people our lives intersect w/ daily.
In week 1, we discussed how to live intentionally relational w/ God and how it’s the springboard to every other relationship. In week 2, we discussed how to live intentionally relational in our homes. Last week, we talked about the need to live intentionally relational in our spiritual relationships ...
