TRAVELING THE ROAD: (verses 29-32)
_{^{Luke 14:15-24    Matthew 9:35-38    Matthew 5:43-48    Matthew 18:21-22}}

A strange question to ask God:

How little can I love other people and still be okay with God?

A sad reality:

It is not difficult to find wounded people.

Track 2 of 5

Dodging the need:

A good excuse can lead to a wrong response.

ROAD RULES: (verses 33-35)
_{^{Proverbs 26:17    Isaiah 1:13-17    Jeremiah 22:16    James 1:27    James 2:14-17}}

Not every need has your name on it.

How do we love our neighbors?

1. It goes beyond good intentions.
2. It will impact our schedules.

Track 4 of 5

3. It will cost us some money.
4. Don't do it alone.

Track 5 of 5

ROAD CONSTRUCTION: (verses 36-37)
_{^{Matthew 25:31-46    1 John 3:16-18    Isaiah 58:10-12}}

Jesus wants this kind of love to be ordinary, not exceptional.
